Iran was slapped with fresh sanctions Friday after carrying out its first execution over demonstrations that have shaken the regime for nearly three months, as activists called for fresh protests.

Mohsen Shekari, 23, was hanged Thursday after being found guilty of "moharebeh", or "enmity against God", (except)..

(excerpt)The judiciary said Shekari was arrested after blocking a Tehran street and striking a member of the Basij paramilitary force linked to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with a machete -- a wound that required 13 stitches

“At least a dozen other people are currently at risk of execution after being sentenced to hang in connection with the protests, human rights groups warned.”

Headline isn’t quite accurate...an Iranian general said 10days ago that 300 protesters have been killed. They were executed too, just weren’t hanged.

Ya know years past, the west trying to spread freedom and democracy around the world was met with resistance from communist and socialist regimes for a legitimate reason. But now, in these times, the focus of the fight has switched to the preservation of anything normal in the human relm... And this is where it’s gonna trigger some pretty heavy action eventually against us

It’s getting to be a tinder box out there and only a matter of time before these super powers along with their satellite nation’s make a move on us.b a serious move...

That’s sad.

I almost expect it would raise their ESG score.

We have political prisoners right here, right now.

We’re not killing protesters but don’t think for a minute they would not if they thought they could get away with it.

There used to be videos of Iranian hanging on the web...don't know if they're still there. One that I saw showed three people being hanged at the same time...two men and a woman. They hooked them up to some kind of sturdy metal pole which was attached to a construction crane.

When the guy gave the signal they were lifted up into the air by the crane. The two guys were still from the start but the woman,dressed head-to-toe in one of those black burlap sacks,thrashed around for almost a minute before going still.

Iran is ruled by 9th Century pig fornicating savages!

Jimmuh is responsible for unleashing the ayatollah Khomeini and the following suffering of the Iranian people.
One man’s stupidity and evil CAN change the world!

Yup. They strangle as opposed to having their necks suddenly broken in a proper hanging.
They’re monsters
