“Muh human rights”

I'm not a fan of death penalty in general. And having even the possibility of death penalty for stuff such as homosexuality or dissidence is fucked up as hell, dude.

Amnesty also has this sort of things to say

Death sentences and executions continued to be imposed and carried out arbitrarily, in violation of the right to life after grossly unfair trials before Revolutionary Courts. These courts lack independence, operate under the influence of security and intelligence bodies, and routinely rely on torture-tainted forced “confessions” to issue convictions and death sentences

The use of the death penalty further disproportionately impacted Iran’s oppressed minorities, particularly those belonging to the Kurdish, Baluchi, and Afghan communities, with executions of Baluchis accounting for at least 10% of all executions while constituting only about 5% of Iran's population.98 In particular, the number of Afghan nationals and people of Afghan origin executed in 2024 rose significantly compared to 2023, from 25 to 80, with around half executed for drug-related offences. This rise coincided with the escalation of hateful and dehumanizing language and treatment of Afghan nationals by Iranian authorities.

Iranian authorities also continued to resort to the death penalty to punish individuals who challenged, or were perceived as having challenged, the Islamic Republic of Iran establishment and its politico- religious ideologies during the Woman Life Freedom uprising of September-December 2022. In 2024, authorities executed at least two people, including a youth with a mental disability, in connection with the protests after unfair trials and based on torture-tainted “confessions”. Several others remained under sentence of death at the end of the year in connection with the protests.

Furthermore, the authorities used politically motivated charges carrying the death penalty against women human rights defenders. Women’s rights activist Sharifeh Mohammadi was sentenced to death in June 2024,101 and Kurdish humanitarian worker Pakhshan Azizi in July 2024.102

The authorities sentenced to death and executed at least four individuals who were under the age of 18 at the time of the crime; scores of others remained on death row

I am not saying the government is a saint. I am saying a lot of this is propaganda.

I saw a "dissident" that got death penalty and its supporters would show a picture of her just sitting beside fire and saying she was just a "social worker" then later the original picture with her holding a rifle and pictures of her training with terrorist groups came out.

the ironic part is one of the woman u named "Pakhshan Azizi" was/is hailed as "Kurdish-Iranian human rights activist". you can even just search her name but you have to do it in english and see a sea of website bemoaining a "human rights activist". with these picture:

but if you search her name in persian "پخشان عزیزی" you get these pictures too:

she is a member of terrorist group "پژآک"

I don't need to love my goverment to see when most of those who say "human rights in Iran" are funded by who.

if any one these people did one tenth of the stuff they did iran, in eu or uk or usa, they would not even get to a court. they would be gunned down.

I am against alot of dress code law or marriage laws in my country but the judiciary is in my opinion too soft on terrorist supporters in iran.

Another example: the right side is a post from "iran internatinal" that is a propaganda network that was funded by saudies but then bought out by jweish isis (israel). the left side is the original picture.
