Our new friends

A reminder of how they roll in Iran:
BERLIN -- Iran’s regime executed a gay adolescent in July - the first confirmed execution of someone convicted as a juvenile in the Islamic Republic in 2016 - Amnesty International reported this week.

Hassan Afshar, 19, was hanged in Arak Prison in Iran's Markazi Province on July 18, after he was convicted of  "forced male-to-male anal intercourse" (‘lavat-e be onf’) in early 2015, the NGO said in a statement Tuesday. 
Maybe we can give 'em another Pallet o' Euros to make them reconsider their behavior.

Hung for rape. Not bad, really.

Except if you read the article, it wasn't a rape.

i did read it. the source was incredibly biased from the get. he was convicted of what we call rape in this country. I wasnt in the courtroom, neither were you, so i'm in no position to weigh testimony and render verdict of guilt or not guilt.

Iran hung a convicted rapist. its not what i would do, but it is a reality for rapists in the muslim world.

Your mileage may vary on whether you can trust the justice system of a tyrannical state. And most Muslim countries are tyrannical to some extent. I'm more amused at how important making nice with Iran is to The Leader of the Free World.

you milage may vary on whether you can trust a 'Breitbarty' report from a zionist news source to treat Iranian justice system fairly or not.

i was more amused that you seemed more upset about the hanging of a violent rapist, as opposed to Iran hanging a spy that apparently was outed by H!'s home server being hacked.

I'm not. I will get to that story anon. Maybe tomorrow.

Mr. D said...

Oh, and before I forget.. the Jerusalem Post is "Zionist" now?

To. Hey.. my degree wasn't in autocorrect...

Mr. D said...

I'm still not following you.

Gino said...

Maybe you didn't get them because the link page and surrounding bullshit is different on my phone than what I was getting at home yesterday morning. In short, lots links to other articles about threats to ideal and whatnot...

Mr. D said...

Could be. I don't always see what comes over on the mobile site. Sorry for any confusion.

Regarding what happened, you've got one side that the "recipient" was the accuser, which in our system would indicate rape, but on the flip side you've got a judicial system that doesn't afford the defendant niceties like a lawyer.

But no matter how you cut it, not the kind of people you'd hope that our President would be dealing with. And bias? Nah, they present both sides of the story. If that is Zionist, then the NY Times and Washington Post should seriously take some lessons in Zionism.
