Harrowing Video Shows Iranian Protesters Sing Before Being Hanged
YouTube ^ | Apr 27, 2026 | New York Post

Smuggled video from inside an infamous Iranian prison captured the moment six dissidents broke into song to defy the Islamic regime one last time before they were hanged.

The six men, all executed for their alleged actions against the regime, were seen standing in a courtyard at the notorious Ghezel Hesar prison as they made their final stand with a song of resistance.

“Your rival stands before you now, hardened in the flame — I am the faith, I am revolt, with belief I take my stand — I’ve sworn an oath upon my blood, the tyrant’s throne shall shatter,” the men calmly sung.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This moved me to tears. It is one of the most beautiful, tragic, and compelling things I can imagine.

This video will long outlive these brave men. If their revolution fails to change the regime this will haunt the bastards for as long as it takes for the regime to fall. We still remember Nathan Hale who regretted he had but one life to give for his country.

BS video. Highly unlikely the IRGC would let those guys stand there and sing their song while somebody was recording them. They also look to be in pretty good condition.....

Apocalyptic Twelvers would love to do the same to the modernizing, moderate Saudi Arabia + Sunni Gulf nations, that are just across the Persian Gulf. Their apocalyptic end-times scenario is to get rid of Saudi Sunni governance of the two holy cities, Mecca and Medina. Replace this with Shiite Twelver governance.

This means Twelvers will rule over all Islam. With hundreds of millions of Sunni converting to the wack-a-doodle Twelver version of Islam. Twelvers are competing with Scientology for most crazy concocted cult. What can you expect when Muhammed was a false phony fake prophet?

How are you evaluating their condition from that 3 minute video in the shadows, and why would you try to, or claim to know their condition, and label them as fakes?

I wish this did not truly happen.

I did multiple searches about this, and they all came up legit. If you have evidence from other than tools of the regime that these 6 men, Vahid Baniamerian, Babak Alipour, Abolhassan Montazer, Pouya Ghobadi, Akbar Daneshvarkar, and Mohammad Taghavi were not tried and executed, let’s see it.

Speculation is that a few guards were sympathetic.

I would add that skilled appliers of torture do not leave obvious marks.

Yeah...

Are these guys’ lives worth less than those of the women not executed? Perhaps President Trump should say something...

“”””I would add that skilled appliers of torture do not leave obvious marks.”””””

Torture can be done in many ways and usually to parts of the body hidden by clothes, and the biggest thing is that once it is finished and the sentence of death passed they may be treated simply as prisoners waiting for their death date, meaning they are fed and housed and left alone except for what is probably some level of constant abuse and bad treatment during the normal course of the day in a lousy, nasty prison.

There are some reports, and to be honest I hope they are true, that what we’re seeing and hearing ie the women’s soccer team, and these men here, are the result of an Israeli AI propaganda and that it did not really exist.

It’s a video of some men singing.

Years ago I saw a couple of videos (on youtube IIRC) of hangings in Iran. One was of a well dressed,well groomed young guy who was standing on the platform waiting...with a huge smile on his face. Then it showed him hanging with a huge crowd gathered below him. My guess is that he was some kind of student protester....he certainly looked the part.

And there was another video....three people to be hanged. They rigged up some kind of metal pipe with three ropes attached. A guy gave a signal and the three were raised off the ground by a crane. Two men and one woman....the woman covered entirely by one of those black gowns that moslem women wear. The two guys apparently died immediately because they were still...but the woman somehow "escaped" her leg shackles and you could see her wildly kicking her legs around for about 30 seconds.

Barbaric doesn't even begin to describe either video.

It is as the news source and others are reporting, if you know different then share the information with us.

No, I’m not saying I have evidence that it’s false.

I’m just saying you have zero basis for accepting that it’s true.

You've heard the saying; "...best to make friends with the hangman..."?

That video is from the New York Post, the Daily Mail and others are reporting it, how does that equal “zero” reason to think it is news?
