The five-man tribunal Monday «convicted the former Aranian die- tator on 13 counts of trying to un- seat Shah Mohammed Re a Pah- levi last summer and sentenced him to three year in solitary con- finement. Mossadegh has five days to file an appeal. Mossadegh's co-defendant and former army chief of staff, Brig. Paghi Riadi, was sentenced to two years and ordered dismissed from the army. When they went on trial last month, s «both would be hanged. The emotional nationalist leader stood gripping the edge of a bench culation was rife that! cluded illegally dissolving parlai- ment's lowey house, the Majlis, and numerous actions against the Shah and the royal dynasty, The cour. said, however, that it had reduced the sentence because of a mercy appeal by the Shah.
