  1. they should probably do a referendum and if there’s a small minority wanting this, instead of executing them- maybe let them just leave to countries that are supporting these protests and can take them in.
    another thing, why does the whole world try to call for a regime change in Iran and not for any other country that support genocide or ethnic cleansing. Theres Hazara killings, uyghur killings, problems with Indian minorities, immigrants fleeing Syria but why do only Iranians get prayers and threats. Strange?

  2. I wonder if any western democratic government is paying attention to what is happening in Iran. We haven't had any relationship with Iran in the last 40-plus years. So the United States cant call its ambassador but I strongly believe that countries have to call their ambassadors and get rid of Iranian ambassadors. It must be shown to the people of the world, the brutality of this regime that forces people to live in the 7th century. These are not humans. They are equivalent to ISIS and the Taliban.

  3. FYI – Hamid Noori former assistant prosecutor during in the 1980s was sentenced to 25 yeoars in Sweden for 1988 prison massacre of 4500 political prisoners in the Islamic dictatorship of Iran ordered by KhOmeni and KhAmenee.
    Noori was former assistant prosecutor to guardian consul president Raessi.
