An Iranian Jewish leader called for a fair trial in the case of 13 Jews arrested by Tehran on charges of spying for Israel. “If the results of the investigations prove them guilty, they should be punished. But if the opposite were proved, they should be released immediately,” Manouchehr Eliasi, was quoted as saying Saturday in the moderate newspaper Entekhab. A report in a hard-line paper, meanwhile, said the suspects had been linked to the Mossad.
