Iran: Sunni cleric sentenced to death for speaking at
commemorative event for man killed in hijab protests
Terror is the only tool the Islamic Republic has, as it’s the only tool the Qur’an prescribes:
“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
Iranian Sunni Kurdish Cleric Sentenced To Death
As Executions Soar
Iran International, February 11, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A revolutionary court in Urmia has sentenced Sunni Kurdish cleric Mohammad Khezrnejad to death on charges of “corruption on earth.”
That's as opposed to corruption on the moon, or in Heaven, I guess.
The 45-year-old cleric from Bukan in West Azarbaijan Province, also received a 15-year prison sentence on charges of “causing harm to the integrity or independence of the country,” along with an additional one-year imprisonment on charges of “propaganda against the system.”
Are those prison sentences to be served after the death sentence, or before?
Khezrnejad’s most recent court session occurred in November via video conference, without the presence of a lawyer. Khezrnejad was arrested on November 19 after delivering a speech at a commemorative event for Asad Rahimi, a victim of the Women, Life, Freedom protests in Bukan.
Lawyers are not needed when the decision has already been agreed to by the court.
Following his arrest, a coalition of religious scholars and Friday prayer leaders in Sanandaj and Dehgolan, in Kordestan province, demanded the immediate release of all protest detainees, including Khezrnejad. They cautioned the government against issuing death sentences for protesters….
But, it's not like the government has ever actually listened to anyone, ever.
