Rights groups warn of Tehran regime’s increasing use of executions to suppress dissent, with at least 600 this year
Human rights groups have raised the alarm over the growing number of death sentences and executions in Iran, after reports that a 23-year-old woman, Najmeh Amini, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy over a social-media post.
Amini, an accounting student, is being held in Vakilabad prison in the north-east city of Mashhad. She has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison and death in separate cases heard by a revolutionary and a criminal court.
A source close to Amini’s family told the US-based Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRAI) that Amini was sentenced to death on charges of “sab ol-nabi” (insulting the prophet). She was reportedly arrested following online monitoring by Iran’s Cyber Police (Fata). The exact content of her posts has not been publicly disclosed.
Gosh, how did Iran become such a paranoid society?
Couple of regime changes initiated by foreign powers will do that to a country.
Fucking hate it when foreigners grab the Iranian Moral Police by the wrists and force them to tie nooses around the necks of nonconformists
I don’t think you understand how destabilizing a region over and over again leads to a lower education, more religious dogma and higher animosity in its people and government.
This also happens in neocolonies in Africa, for example.
“Someone else was mean to me, once” doesn’t excuse whipping and hanging people who disagree with the government to death.
Do you also handwave Trump’s everything because his dad was a shitheel? I personally do not.
Who said it was once?
Ugh. Fuck Iran.
Exactly, all these tankies rooting for Iran in this war make me sick. This is a horrible regime and there are no good guys in this war of stupidity and evil.
True.
So anyways, are you going to tune in for the live execution we have coming up?
Even though Hegseth is a fucking moron, nobody’s getting executed for saying that Hegseth is a fucking moron. They are executing murderers.
I agree. If the state says they are guilty, they most definitely are. We shouldn’t question the law. Just like in this case where it is obviously known by all that the guilty party is guilty. They will always only do this to those who deserve it.
The government would never say, make up charges against a political enemy to start searching her home.
God bless the freest country of all, America.
