The Islamic Republic of Iran’s judiciary on Thursday ignored a U.S. State Department warning along with pleas from elite Iranian-American wrestlers to not execute 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi for protesting against the Khamenei regime.
Reports say Mohammadi was killed in a public hanging seen as a barbaric move by the Iranian regime to snuff out the ongoing movement seeking to topple it, according to Iranian-American human rights activists and dissidents.
Nima Far, a human rights activist and Iranian combat athlete who an expert on elite Iranian wrestling, told Fox News Digital, "His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society, as seen with Navid Afkari and others executed despite international outcry."
He said, "The IOC [International Olympic Committee] and UWW [United World Wrestling] should have intervened forcefully with public ultimatums, threatening immediate suspension of Iran’s NOC [National Olympic Committee] and federations if the killing proceeded rather than relying on ineffective quiet diplomacy, given their own commitments to protect athletes from politically motivated harm." Both organizations did put out statements after being asked for response from Fox News Digital upon Mohammadi's death sentence.
Far called on the wrestling authorities to take action, stating, "Iran must be banned from international competitions until it halts executions of protesters and athletes, releases those jailed in sham trials, and ends retaliation against competitors who speak out or defect."

This is what it’s like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.
The Ayatollahs are fighting and oppressing Iran and the Iranian people
Here’s a little prediction: the MSM won’t ask any Democrat politicians for a comment on this.
Is that what we’re calling it? Why not the “IRGC goon of the week regime”?

Handsome young man with great skill doing what he .
Sad. How can anyone live in such an incredibly crazy and evil country?
They don't care because Iran is not a "Western" nation.
There is another right that Iran’s citizens lack that, arguably, is more important.

Since they lack a constitution, Iranians have no right to own firearms.
Civilian firearms were regulated by the legislature, which took orders directly and indirectly from the Ayatollah.
For an Iranian civilian to legally purchase a handgun, a license was needed from the Iranian government. Officially, the process included a permit from local police, a criminal records check, military service checks, a psychological exam and successful completion of state safety training and testing. It was estimated that only 3% to 7% of all applications were approved.
Only this small number of licensees were legally allowed to purchase and possess ammunition.
That’s why a large chunk are protesting even though the regime has the guns and the monopoly on violence
R.I.P.
‘member chillun, d’ere ain’t no sech t’ing az d’oze hookan rats under doze guys in I+ran.
What, no DRE?
Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn’t afraid of them.
While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn’t beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen.
“How can I stay silent?” she asked.
We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline.
God. Come here.
Another psycho-ayatoilet bites the dust!
Time to start smuggling arms in for the Persians.
So sad for this young man and his family.
They don't care because they do not want to give credit to President Trump for this brilliant and risky move. Iran has provided support for terrorists all over the world for nearly 50 years. They and their proxies have caused the deaths and maiming of American citizens and soldiers, along with 100s of thousands of innocent people.
This along with Iran's nonstop efforts to obtain nuclear arms which they would not hesitate to use... gives people who possess something that the media does not, grave concerns. Unfortunately, there are many whose stupidity and lack of common sense causes them to be so blinded by TDS that they are not concerned about Iran. Congratulations, your post wins with the help of the media win the award tonight. Although this farmer and his hog are a lot more deserving:
Actually, it was a "western nation" up to the time a filthy democrat...wouldn't you know...sandbagged the Shah and facilitated the takeover by mullahs. It'll be western again real quick once the radical moslem scum are turned into worm shit.
These executions by a totalitarian rule are the way of a system from the 7th century. Over the centuries, it has spared no effort to preserve itself without change or influence from any alternative system. Their behavior is a symptom of their cataclysmic failure that their hard hardheadedness has brought.
I perceive this system has ran its course and is in an existential demise they cannot stop. Their terrorism and barbaric behavior will not solve their primitive problem. The merits of freedom will supersede their obsolete primitivism.
For the Iranian people, thank God for President Donald J. Trump.
Iran’s inflexible gun control was a element of their many existential problems. Their system just struck an ice burg with President Trump.
