Iranian dissident journalist Ruhollah Zam, who was convicted of fomenting violence during anti-government protests in 2017, was executed on Saturday, Iran’s state television reported.

France reacted with anger to the hanging of the Paris-based journalist, which it called “barbaric and unacceptable” and said ran counter to Iran’s international obligations.

Iran said on Tuesday its Supreme Court had upheld the death sentence against Zam, who was captured in 2019 after years of living in exile in France. His Amadnews feed had more than 1 million followers.

Yeah, but if Biden becomes president they'll say what a great leader he is for resuming to help Iran with its nuclear weapons program started under Obama.

If France were truly outraged by this man being kidnapped from France (not Iraq) they’d plunk a few missiles into Tehran.

But that takes balls and France has no such thing.
