Iran denies women facing execution after Trump seeks clemency

Iran's judiciary denied on Tuesday that eight women were at risk of execution after U.S. President Donald Trump had requested clemency on their behalf.

"Trump was misled once again by fake news," the judiciary's official Mizan Online website said. "The women who were claimed to be on the verge of execution, some of them have been released, while others face charges that, if convictions are upheld, would at most result in imprisonment."

Trump had earlier said on social media that the women's release could work in Iran's favour in negotiations, re-posting an activist's claim that eight women were facing death by hanging. That claim did not give names but included photographs of the women.
