Iran on Monday hanged two men for their actions during post-election unrest in 2009. Iran's Press TV described the men as terrorists and members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO). The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency said Jafar Kazemi and Mohammad Ali Haj Aqaei were hanged for distributing placards and photos of the terrorist group, making videos and images during the post-election unrest in Iran in 2009 and chanting slogans in favour of the MKO. Earlier in a statement in August 2010, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged the Iranian government to halt the executions of the men who were exercising their right to free expression.
