Did Wikileaks lead to Iranian execution?

Last month Majid Jahali Fashi was executed in Iran for Spying for the Mossad

Now it turns out that an unredacted wikileaks cable may have lead to his death

A cable from the US embassy in Azerbaijan described one of its sources as an Iranian martial arts expert. Apparently Fashi had visited Azerbaijan the month before the cable was released for a kickboxing tournament. Analysts argue that Fashi might have lost his life because the confidential cable was published by WikiLeaks. Even if Fashi was not the source of the cable, the document gave the Iranian regime a pretext for charging him, torturing him and executing him.
