Iran on Friday expelled a
75-year-old Italian nun who worked for 26 years in a leprosy
colony there.
Sister Giuseppina Berti has been told she must leave the country
in a few days.
Berti is living as a pensioner at the house of the Congregation
of the Daughters of Charity at Ispahan, after leaving the
lepers' colony at Tabriz.
Her companion, Austrian nun Fabiola Weiss, 77, has had her visa
renewed for a year while her own has not been extended, Vatican
media reported.
