Whilst Rouhani smiles abroad, executions have been stepped up in Iran according to Mina Ahadi and the International Committee against Execution. Since the election at least 213 prisoners have been executed. 27 were executed in the past two weeks. There are plans to execute 26 political prisoners imminently.
Rouhani was quoted saying he wanted to empty the prisons – it seems the regime intends to do so via executions…
Here Shahin Najafi and Majid Kazemi sing against executions as should we all.

in a cavalier fashion nor hastily, nor the laws arbitrarily changed because of a public outrage as in Indiaever! " To satiate your bloodlust? Execution doesn't prevent such crimes. Read up on the situation in China, where executions are an everyday occurrence (not least motivated by the harvesting of organs). Even with the death penalty! FIFY: "And will not cease to occurjust because some liberals live in a utopiajust because the state butchers its own citizens." Rehabilitation? Punishment? Disapprobation? Incarceration, inter alia, serves to remove dangerous individuals from society for their own and others protection - without recourse to murder. There need be no issue of hate and revenge involved. Justice is not, nor is it served by, the contention of violent emotions. Logic is not your strong point. This has to be the most obtuse comment I have read all year. You are lying to us here. Please stop. What arguments? The argument from bloodlust? The argument from revenge fantasies? Emotional arguments are not rational, philosophical nor legal arguments. ... Saywut? You suddenly refer to character in a work of fiction ...
