Why is Iran executing, kidnapping so many people?
2020-12-20
[Jpost] No other regime in the world does this. Iran’s point is that international laws don’t apply to it.

Iran’s regime appears to be on an execution spree. It murdered wrestler Navid Afkari in September and hung journalist Ruhollah Zam this month after kidnapping him from Iraq. Iran’s regime is not afraid to kill people: It bumped off some 1,400 protesters last year.

What the regime is showing through the high-profile executions is that it can kill journalists and athletes, people who should be protected by modern human-rights laws, and it can do so publicly and openly.

Because they are not punished.
