In a( sermon )at Tehran( Teheran )University (today),( Ahmad Khatami) described the demonstrators rivals( as rioters )who arranged(waged) war against ground(God), a crime under Islamic law, punishable by death.

The opposition says she was killed by Iranian security forces during the demonstrations.
