Iran: Death toll from bloody crackdown on protests rises to 208
Amnesty Int'l ^ | Dec. 2, 2019

Posted on 12/02/2019 1:56:39 PM PST by nuconvert

The number of people believed to have been killed during demonstrations in Iran that broke out on 15 November has risen to at least 208, said Amnesty International, based on credible reports received by the organization. The real figure is likely to be higher. Dozens of the deaths have been recorded in Shahriar city in Tehran province – one of the cities with the highest death tolls.

According to information gathered by Amnesty International, families of victims have been threatened and warned not to speak to the media, or to hold funeral ceremonies for their loved ones. Some families are also being forced to make extortionate payments to have the bodies of their loved ones returned to them.

There used to be at least a few videos on youtube showing Iranian executions. They execute people in public...by hanging. And they don't drop you through an opening in the floor....they get some kind of construction crane,attach a rope to it,and lift you up.

The crowd can watch the person "dancing" as he/she is dying.

Historically no matter how brutal the suppression these absurd regimes eventually collapse. The medieval mullahs may have friends like Kerry and Obama but in the era of internet and social media even semi literate people know their lives should be better.

We’ll know they’re serious when the mosques burn. With the mullahs inside.

American Revolutionary War:

Between 25,000 and 70,000 American Patriots died during active military service.[31] Of these, approximately 6,800 were killed in battle, while at least 17,000 died from disease.

This is slaughter against those who wish to voice their political opinions. I don’t think Europe is far behind and we could be next.

What’s being missed.

America.

A beacon of Freedom in the world.

The oppressed of the world see the light and are fighting back.

There would be no fight without America.

1. Amnesty might actually have some integrity.
2. The Ayatollahs are not leftists by any stretch. Their not rightists, either, strictly speaking. They want to destroy America and Israel, and establish a border-less Caliphate with them at its head, and kill all Sunnis and Suffis who won’t convert to “true Islam,” oh, and kill all Jooos!, Christians, Hindus, etc., too.
3. They would also kill all Shiites who disagree with them, including that ingrate Muqtada el Sadr in Iraq, and his new mentor Ali Sistani, for daring to defy them.
4. They’re their own flavor of batsh!t crazy.
5. Theirs is a Mosque of cards, because they couldn’t do anything without oil, and they’re stealing their oil from the hereditary lands of Shiite Arabs, and treating them like crap. A free and independent Khuzestan would put paid to them and their evil, insane reign of terror and threats to the world, but thus far it’s not happening.

That’s why America must be destroyed from within to bring in the New World Order. /tinfoil hat

You may have heard of the people doing the destroying. They are also known as “Democrats” and have people in the U.S. Gov’t.

The good folks of Iran need to do in many of the leading, “mullah’s”. Whether in their sleep, or on the toilet or wherever they can or else always be slaves.

Friend had a roommate who was an Iranian exile living in Vegas after the Shah was ousted. The revolutionary council in Iran released a book every so often. It was like a yearbook and had pictures on one page of Iranian officer’s graduation pictures from various Western military schools. On the next page it showed their execution. Their only crime, being trained by the West. Those books were widely circulated among the exile community as they were relived not to see their relatives in it.

I’ll be writing to Amnesty about that last point, seeing what specifics they have of political prisoners.
