Amnesty International has urged Iran to lift the death penalty on an opposition activist arrested in the protests after the disputed presidential election.

The group said Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani was the first person sentenced to death over the unrest triggered by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's June re-election.

In a statement, it condemned his "show trial" as a "mockery of justice".

More than 100 people have faced trial before a Tehran Revolutionary Court for their part in the protests.
