IRAN. QUR'AN CRITIC TO BE EXECUTED WITHIN DAYS

May 31, 2008: the Mullahs' regime in Iran is set to execute scholar on the history of Iran and Islam, Dr Foroud Fouladvand.
A confirmed report sent to the office of Dr Fouladvand in London from inside Iran suggests that Dr Fouladvand and two of his compatriots are going to be executed on Saturday, May 31, 2008 or possibly even sooner. The two other men men are Nazem Schmidtt, an Iranian/American citizen, aka Simorgh, and AlexanderValizadeh, an Iranian/ German citizen, aka Koroush Lor.
Dr Fouladvand, a British citizen, was known throughout the Iranian community for his open criticism of Islam and the Mullah's tyranny.
Dr. Fouladvand, an expert on Islam, openly challenged the Qur'an in his daily television broadcasts for listeners both inside and outside Iran. Dr Fouladvand was convinced by an Iranian agent to return to Iran to meet with supporters. In January 2007, the agents of the Mullahs' secret police arrested the men near the Iraqi border and smuggled men into Iran, where they were imprisoned and subjected to torture.
