The United States on Thursday urged Iran not to carry out the executions of three people involved in nationwide protests, with campaigners fearing that authorities will kill them imminently, AFP reported.
State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel, echoing a statement last week by Amnesty International, voiced concern that Iran may soon execute Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi and Saeed Yaghoubi, who were arrested in November over protests in the central city of Isfahan.
"We join the people of Iran and the international community in calling on Iran to not carry out these executions," Patel was quoted as having told reporters.
"The execution of these men after what have widely been regarded as sham trials would be an affront to human rights and basic dignity in Iran and everywhere,” he added.
"It is clear from this episode that the Iranian regime has learned nothing from the protests that began with another death, the death of Mahsa Amini," stated Patel.
Protests have swept Iran since September when Amini, 22, died in custody after her arrest for allegedly violating the clerical state's dress rules for women.

The Democrats would probably love to kill them some protesters after their sham J6 trials.
Our socialist regime then added its much more fun to persecute your political enemies by keeping them aliveand either jailing them or constantly harassing themand passing more laws that make everything they do and believe, “illegal”. Iran responded they already do this, and the two dictatorships had a good long laugh together.
None of our business.
The U.S. has no moral high ground anymore after holding Jan 6 protesters in the gulag.
Well, they did that in Ohio once, and it didn’t end well. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young made a song about it.

Everyone has the moral high ground. Except POTUS Brandon FJB, who 1. is totally ineffective. If anything, he’s hastened the protestors’ demise by making it a public issue. and 2. He doesn’t really GAGS. He’s virtue signaling and even so is not even convincing.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
The J6 prisoners were not available for comment.
Spot on.

Are the three tankers seized by Iran any of the US’ business? I think so. That’s an act of war, not that the Coward in Chief will do anything about it.
democrats want to execute us for protesting. They are currently holding hundreds of political prisoners in DC.
Sure. They neglected one ‘til he lost an arm. They drove another of them to suicide. But they’re too clever to outright kill them. Remember Kent State?

Yes, that should get some real results. /s
While wanting to erase our own protestors from the face of the Earth....go figure...
Are you saying you believe biden is solely responsible for this mess?
The United States has fought its last Middle Eastern war.
When Donald Trump attacked Jeb! in a debate by pointing out the damage his brother had done to America by creating the Iraq disaster, the media was shocked when the selected Republican audience leapt to their feet cheering. The best thing Trump did as President was denying the War Party their Syria war.
And we are not going to be baited into fighting Iran.
Never again.
