LONDON (Reuters) - Amnesty International urged Iran on Saturday not to execute a political dissident convicted of "enmity against God" in what it said had been an unfair trial, as his family said they feared he would be hanged within hours.

Gholamreza Khosravi Savajani was sentenced in 2010 in connection to alleged links with the People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI) a group that seeks to overthrow the Islamic Republic, Amnesty says.
