Iran executed 19-year-old national wrestling team member Saleh Mohammadi on Thursday, along with two other men, in the regime's first announced executions tied to January protests.

Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi and Saeed Davoudi were executed in Qom after being found guilty of killing two police officers during unrest in Nabut Square on January 8. They were convicted of the capital crime of waging war against God, known as moharebeh under Iran's Sharia law.

The regime made a stupid decision with terrible timing.

There are so many athletes in prison there. It’s very sad.

Normal situation with mullah’s executing sharia.

"19-year-old Iranian wrestler Saleh Mohammadi was just hanged by the Islamic regime. He wasn’t executed for wrestling. He was executed over accusations tied to anti-government protests. Iranian authorities claimed he was involved in the killing of security forces during unrest. But human rights groups say something very different: They say he was denied a fair trial and forced to confess under torture. He was 19 years old. A young athlete. And now he’s gone." - Terrence Williams

And yet, democrats applaud, promote and defend sharia. They do so by protecting its adherents. Do they even have the capacity to comprehend how hypocritical they are? Or are they drunk and stoned 24/7?
