Iran executes Kurdish political prisoners

The photo above is a memorial exhibition featuring Iran's political prisoners. It was organized by the People's Mujahedin of Iran, an opposition group, and is seen in Paris, France on the Esplanade des Invalides, October 29, 2019.

The Islamic Republic of Iran executed the Kurdish political prisoner, Mostafa Salimi on Saturday in the city of Saqqez. His execution goes against all international norms.

Iran Human Rights (IHR) director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam called the sentence "an inhumane punishment," adding that “Executions in Iran have continued to be carried out even after the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and lockdown in the country. It shows the death penalty is crucial for the Islamic Republic’s survival.”

The Kurdistan Region of Iraq extradited Salimi to Iran. The regime sentenced Salimi to death for Moharebeh (waging war against Allah) in Iran 17 years ago. Apparently Iran does not believe that Allah is capable of handling the punishment himself and thus needs Iran's army of Muslims to do the job. It's a mystery how anyone can wage war against an enemy that is invisible, all powerful and can throw bolts of lightning up your butt if it tickled his fancy. Personally, I think they made up that Moharebeh stuff.

Salimi, 53, escaped from prison on March 27 along with other prisoners. IHR strongly condemned the execution of Salimi in Iran and “considers his extradition from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq a violation of international human rights conventions.”

Iran claimed that Salimi was a member of Kurdish opposition parties and engaging in armed conflict.

IHR wrote that “Following his arrest, Iranian authorities carried out his execution quickly. The move is seen by many observers as a tool to spread fear among other prisoners. During the past weeks, there have been many riots in Iranian prisons to protest the management of jails during the coronavirus spread in Iran.”

According to the Jerusalem Post, Amnesty International reported that the Iran regime executed 36 prisoners due to their protests against the lack of safety regarding the Chinese Communist Wuhan Wet Market Lab Created Coronavirus. Maybe that's how Iran believes killing prisoners is the best way to protect them. This falls along the same illogical line that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has on abortion, claiming that "abortion is life-sustaining."

Iran is led by a horrible dictator who has weaponized religion to suit his goals, and this has been its theocratic history since 1979. You don't reward dictatorships like this by removing sanctions.
