Iran issues death sentence linked to January unrest - source tells #Reuters

An Iranian revolutionary court has issued a death sentence for a man accused of "enmity against god", believed to be the first such sentence linked to mass protests in January, a source close to the man's family told Reuters on Tuesday.
Thousands of people are believed to have been killed in a crackdown on the protests. During the unrest, U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tehran that he could order military action if it carries out executions.
