Report: Iran pardons 100 'security prisoners'
None
Iran's supreme leader ordered the pardon of 100 "security"-related prisoners on Saturday including some involved in the huge protests against the disputed June 2009 re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The decision, reported late on Saturday by the semi-official Mehr news agency, appeared timed to coincide with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which is in its final days, when compassionate release is sometimes issued to prisoners. (Reuters)
