The Netherlands sought "clarification" from Tehran Wednesday on the plight of a Dutch-Iranian woman reportedly sentenced to death there.
"I am extremely concerned about the situation with Sahra Bahrami and have asked the Iranian authorities to provide immediate clarification about these worrying reports," Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said in a statement.
"We insist on information, the possibility to provide her with consular assistance, and a fair course of justice," the statement said.
Bahrami, 46, has been imprisoned in Iran since December 2009.
The Iranian-born, naturalised Dutch citizen was reportedly arrested after taking part in a protest against the Iranian government while visiting relatives there.
The Netherlands claims Iran has refused the Dutch embassy access to the prisoner as it does not recognise her dual nationality.
Dutch broadcaster Radio Netherlands Worldwide reported on Wednesday that Bahrami had been found guilty of drug smuggling and sentenced to death by a court in Tehran.
It cited her daughter, Banafsheh Najebpour, who said the ruling was delivered on Sunday.
According to the broadcaster, Bahrami is awaiting trial in a second capital case in which she is accused of membership of an armed opposition group

هلند به‌دنبال توضيح ايران در مورد حکم مرگ است
هلند روز چهارشنبه خواستار ”توضيح“ تهران در مورد گرفتاري يک زن هلندي ايراني شد که بنا‌به گزارشها محکوم به مرگ شده است.
وزير خارجه هلند، يوري روسنتال (Uri Rosenthal) در بيانيه يي گفت، ”من نسبت به وضعيت زهرا بهرامي‌شديداً نگران هستم و از مقامات ايران خواهان توضيح فوري در مورد اين گزارشهاي نگران‌کننده شده‌ام. “
اين بيانيه گفت، ”ما روي اطلاعات، احتمال تامين کمک کنسولي براي او و يک روند عادلانه قضايي تأکيد داريم. “
اين شهروند هلندي، که متولد ايران است، بنا‌به گزارشها پس از شرکت در يک اعتراض عليه دولت ايران در عين بازديد از خويشاوندانش در آنجا دستگير شد.
هلند مدعي است که ايران سفارت هلند را از دسترسي به اين زنداني منع نموده زيرا تابعيت دوگانه وي را به‌رسميت نمي‌شناسد.
راديو سراسري هلند روز چهارشنبه گزارش کرد که بهرامي به‌خاطر قاچاق مواد مخدر مجرم شناخته شده و توسط دادگاهي در تهران محکوم به مرگ شده است.
اين راديو از دختر وي، بنفشه نايب پور نقل و قول کرد که گفت اين حکم روز يکشنبه صادر شد.
طبق اين اخبار، بهرامي براي دومين پرونده، که در آن به عضويت در يک گروه مسلح اپوزيسيون متهم شده، در انتظار محاکمه است. (خبرگزاري فرانسه-15/10/89)
