Iran has executed human rights activist Hashem Shaabani, a 32- year-old Arab-Iranian, for “waging war on God.”

Other charges included sowing corruption on earth, propaganda against the Islamic Republic and acting against national security, according to a 2012 sentence handed down by the Ahvaz Islamic Revolutionary Court.

A well-known and loved poet in Iran, Shabaani was originally arrested in 2011 and “confessed” the crime of terrorism on Iranian state-controlled Press TV after being subjected to months of torture and interrogation.

However, in a letter that was published by Ahwaz News Agency in 2013, Shaabani said he had “never participated in any armed activity, whatever the motives.”

He said, “I started my journey wielding my pen against the tyranny that is trying to enslave and imprison minds and thoughts …”

Shabaani continued, “I have tried to defend the legitimate right that every people in this world should have which is the right to live freely with full civil rights. With all these miseries and tragedies, I have never used a weapon to fight these atrocious crimes except the pen.”

According to the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, Shabaani was executed along with his friend Hadi Rashedi, both members of the Dialogue Institute that was outlawed by Iranian regime.

"Iran put to death over 529 people in 2013, 300 alone since Rouhani assumed office in August."

May God Help US. Such evil that stalks the world.

Matching counts with drones on Americans, on American soil is our president’s goal. Andrew Cuomo too for all you New Yorkers.

Iran likes to be involved in all phases of martyr creation.

[Secret Agent Man]

they don’t believe the people they execute are going to be martyrs. they believe they are racking up points with allah for doing his will getting rid of people who espouse things against islam. non-muslim or in their view, corrupted muslim.

[blackdog]

Only western nations invest in the long term warehousing of it's criminals of all sorts. Islam does not make sense of such a concept? Enslave, rape, torture, strip them of all assets and property, and when the time is right, kill those dissenters and criminals.

Why waste the state's resources on such a dumb practice?

And our ever-so-popular and MSNBC-loved Commander-in-Chief will certainly make them feel the heat for these injustices.......

Oh woe is we!

[DonaldC]

Frankly, I don’t like activists either.

They believe no such thing. They execute for deterrence, to keep down the opposition. Political, pure and simple.

Nah, he is to worried about Uganda’s new law regarding homosexuals.

[blackdog]

Let's see...............Spend hundreds of millions of the state's currency to babysit your caged foes?

Or........Spend hundreds of millions of the state's currency to make nuclear bombs and engage in a military buildup to promote the state's agenda?

Western values forced on Islam hardliners is like Shakespeare aloud to swine.

Good thing he is a moderate we can work with.

[Secret Agent Man]

umm, yeah, they do. they may also believe what you believe they believe, but they believe they are doing allah’s will and furthering islam. removing the impure be it muslims or non-muslims is a part of jihad and part of the muslim faith.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that when Iranian citizens began protesting their phony elections and were being shot at as a result, Obama took the side of the mullahs.

that's their Modus operandi.

nothing to see here.

[blackdog]

Andrew Cuomo may consider a religion shift in his family. Hard-line Islam is sounding pretty good to the little boy Cuomo.

Watch out New York!
