  1. This regime is trying to normalize systematic mass killings on a scale that used to trigger international coalitions and interventions.

    And not one diplomat expelled. Not one embassy closed.

    If the west tolerates this then the signal to the regime will be that murdering 20000 people to hold on to power is yet another thing they can get away with.

    Do you want someone to become a Martyr and a rallying cry for more protests?

    Because that’s how you do that.

  3. He’s being executed for “waging a war against God” what a bunch of horse shit. Such a scummy regime.

  4. There’s a reckoning coming for Iran and all the right wing fucks who only worship control. It’s too bad so many good people will have to pay the price for a bunch of evil fucks. If we don’t snap out of this ridiculous pattern, we’re doomed as a species

    Wow, that’s a fast execution. Did he have a trial, witnesses, a defense given time to prepare?

  6. The conceit of the Iranian government is that they are a government based completely on the Koran. Zero separation between church and state, which many clerics say should create the best possible nation. Rebelling against the state is the same as rebelling as God. So his crime is officially Moharebeh, which covers piracy, brigandage, and insurrection against divinely appointed nations.

    Remember all of the same commenters justifying Hamas are now apparently not happy with the IRGC. The hypocrisy is crazy.

    Khamenei and the IRGC preside over one of the most violent and ruthless political systems to emerge since the Stalinist era.

  10. Protesting = waging war against god. Mowing down crowds of people with guns = gods work apparently.

    Unreal we haven’t learned what religion provides to evil people, power and justification in their eyes.

    Well Iran just seems like such a lovely country. Especially with how they treat their youth, women, and anyone who reasonably expresses concerns regarding the quality of life there :/

  12. “Public executions are usually carried out by a mobile crane. Sometimes, the convicted suspect is suspended from the crane, but more often, the crane is used as a gallows, and the person is pulled off a stool (see Upright jerker). The victim is usually blindfolded. Iranian nooses are thick, with 7–10 knotted coils, and are often made of blue plastic rope with little to no drop. Death is caused by strangulation and carotid reflex (where blood vessels to the head are cut off), taking 10–20 minutes, causing visible pain and distress to the condemned.”

  13. Trump could turn around all his fuckery. Stop the Greenland bullshit stop the ICE bullshit – help Iran

    Hey, not for nothing but shame on the NZ Herald for putting this behind a paywall. Didn’t even mention this guy’s name in the two sentences I was able to read for free. This guy is going to be executed in a few hours, if not already. NZ used to have zero tolerance for this type of bullshit. Do better. Hope this guy found some kind of peace at the end.

    americans crying out for trump to save iran is hilarious when the usa has done nothing but actively make the middle east worse. these comments are strange.

    Hope he finds peace. God’s name is used to do alot od crummy things. Would god really allow all that?

  17. Yet a ton of people on Reddit are all of a sudden supporting this regime all of a sudden

  18. Is this kind of thing regularly happening in Iran? Does this have the potential to ignite something? Makes me sick.
