TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian court on Tuesday sentenced a leading student activist to five years in prison for various charges including acting against state security, the dissident student said. Prominent student leader Abdollah Momeni said one of the charges related to organising student protests in 2002-2003 against a death sentence issued against reformist academic Hashem Aghajari for blasphemy.
