The head of Iran’s judiciary signaled Wednesday there would be fast trials and executions ahead for those detained in nationwide protests despite a warning from Donald Trump.
The comments from Iran’s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei come as activists had warned hangings of those detained could come soon.
Already, a bloody security force crackdown on the demonstrations has killed at least 2,571, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported. That figure dwarfs the death toll from any other round of protest or unrest in Iran in decades and recalls the chaos surrounding the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
i really hope the ppl of iran get rid of their dictators/oppressors this time -.-
I’m not holding my breath. Their belief system is way too sticky to go anywhere. A regime may change and some small progress might be made but that’s only until people get angry en masse and it’s right back under some other guy.
you are not totally wrong but small progress is better than none, incremental steps will get ppl somewhere…
look at europe, it took thousands of years, especially the last 1000years have been complicated but it has been ~80years without conflict (except for russia invading ukraine)
I really hope they choose a secular government leader again so Israel can assassinate them.
“In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience.”
Sadly the protestors never had a chance. The Iranian regime will hold on unless the people are ready for the next step. I could easily see this turning into another long and drawn out affair like the Syrian civil war.
