Iran: Erfan Soltani鈥檚 family understand he鈥檚 about to be executed
The 26-year-old Iranian was detained during the protest in Iran last week and sentenced for execution.
Relatives of 26-year-old Erfan Soltani, who was detained last week, told 麻豆社 Persian he was due to be executed today. It is unclear whether this has taken place. A representative from the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights also told the 麻豆社 that they had never witnessed a case move so quickly.
Also, China has announced a record trade surplus despite the US's tariffs; and we hear from the organiser of Australia's largest free festival, Adelaide Writers' Week, which was called off because of a row over censorship.
