American charged with “spying” sentenced to death in Iran

He has 20 days to appeal under Iranian law: Amir Hekmati, a 28-year-old former U.S. Marine who holds dual Iranian and American citizenship, was sentenced to death ”for cooperating with the hostile country … and spying for the CIA,” according to Iran’s Fars news agency. His family disputes the claims, saying they believe the verdict wasn’t fair. ”Amir is not a criminal,” they said in a statement. “His life is being exploited for political gain.” source
