Arrested Iran Prisoners To Face Death Sentence [Mass Public Executions Friday]

Iranian Students for Democracy ^ | June 26, 2003 SGT | staff report

[ewing]

Hundereds of those arrested in the last [Iranian] riots will be brought to speedy trials in order for the public to witness the decision of Islamic 'justice' on their cases.

Sources within the regieme are confirming the decision made in an extradordinary meeting of the National Security Council to issue and execute death penalties against many of them for 'Spying for the United States,' 'Attempts Against National Security' and 'Armed Action Intending to Overthrow the Islamic State.'

The move intends to go on by a series of public executions and to spread information on the cases of other protestors who are executed within the regieme's penitenciaries.

The Islamic Regieme hopes to increase its policy of Fear and Terror at the approach of the July 9th Student Uprising and National Labor Strike and by this way avoid mass participation in the rallies on that day.

Tens of those arrested have been placed under duress and torture in order to sign confessions on their links to the 'US Secret Services.'

These prisoners are under the special guard of the officers of the Intelligence Directorcrat of Pasdaran which is responding directly to the offices of the regieme's Supreme Leader.

Where are all these human rights activists when you need them. Oh I forgot - they are all at GITMO feeling sorry for the detainees!

[Broker]

Not. Overt American intervention would make the US the issue. If they martyr the protesters, all hell will bust loose.

They will be patriots. Natan Hale's spirit lives on; "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."

It's actually a sign that the mullahs are scared..it's how totalitarian regimes behave right before they implode...just think how the clowns in Syria feel about now...

Filing complaints against the Israel and the US.

Where are all these human rights activists when you need them.

They're busy licking their wounds inflicted by the cruel and oppressive policies of OUR government. Don't you know that when our local "peace" activists riot, they are sometimes pushed? Yelled at? Detained for HOURS without internet access or Starbucks or ANYTHING??

This won't even show up on the liberal radar screen. The mullahs will slaughter these people and the left will be busy making picket signs crying about the "plight" of the "oppressed Palestinians."

BUMP

[areafiftyone]

Yup and martyring (sp?) themselves in front of bulldozers!

[tbpiper]

If they do this.....

Could be a 'tipping point' for the regime. They sound desperate.

[Lockbar]

Where is Jimmy Carter on this? Oh, I'm sorry. These protesters were not facists or commies. I guess he dosen't care. Never mind.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

sounds like something right outta the pages of the book 1984...if you ask me we need about 2 teams of spec-ops s.o.c.o.m to go in there and get there people out...they cant do this alone (the students)..

most of us have seen this before (tiannimen square anyone?) at least as far as the uprising goes at least..this new twist (sad as well) to the story with these executions..the only thing i can say is (to quote kurt russell from "tango and cash") this whole thing..F-cking sucks

Re #18

Mullahs are Ceausescu's in turban.:)

[Frank_Discussion]

You're right, though another way outside of martyrdom would be great. Unfortunately, the tipping point usually occurs when the Grim Reaper places his hand upon the scale...

Great analogy!

[Rudder]

Is this publication owned by either the washington post or the la times?

[Travis McGee]

The mullahs are clearly insane. If they do this, there will be zero reason for resistors who are still free not to begin shooting and bombing.

If you will be hanged for marching, you may as well be hanged for shooting a mullah or blowing up a vigilante's home.

[Travis McGee]

There is NO reason for "overt American intervention."

The CIA can very easily smuggle in a few hundred (to start with) pistols and rifles of the exact same type used by the Iranian police and military.

No American fingerprints on "liberated" Iranian weapons.

"this will end up like the Eastern European leader and his wife hanging from a lampost in their own capital city.."

You apparently discount the fact that Romanians are civilized. When their time is up, I suspect these oppressors are going to fare worse than Ceaucescu.

[Frank_Discussion]

Why not go Whole Hog, right? [Gallows Humor Alert]

I agree - it's what I would do in their situation.

Can you *please* check your links so we can see for ourselves how much or how little you arbitrarily decided to leave out?
