There was one other item, since we have an agreement on that. I'm loath to take any time from our witness, as he is a high-quality witness, but this is germane to our concerns right now.
Youcef Naderkhani, on September 21, was sentenced to death in Iran. He was given a verbal sentence of death at that time. Later, on November 13, he was delivered that verdict in writing. And right now the clock is ticking for the 20 days that are allowed for appeal, after which time the sentence is going to be carried out on him. I want to bring this urgent issue to your attention.
MP Sorenson and I have had people e-mailing us regarding Naderkhani's situation. I want to get it on the agenda as quickly as possible after today's meeting.
