Iran, Intent On Proving To The World Their Stellar Human Rights Position, Decides To Hang 9 More Protesters

Note to self: If you protest the Iranian government's illegal rigging of the last election, don't get arrested.

In this brief article from Reuters, the Iranian regime has decided to continue the hangings of protesters, with 9 more to be hanged after the initial hanging of two accused of planning subversion of the government.

Remember, these are the same folks that Barack Hussein Obama insisted had been ignored by the Bush administration and that they deserved a chance to sit down and have meaningful talks with an American President. It is rather "coincidental" that the Iranian regime is planning these hangings JUST before the planned protests across Iran on February 11th - which marks the anniversary of the Iranian revolution in 1979.

Iran to hang nine more over election unrest


TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Tuesday it would soon hang nine more rioters over the unrest that erupted after the June presidential vote, and the leader of the opposition said such repression showed the 1979 Islamic revolution had failed.

"Nine others will be hanged soon. The nine, and the two who were hanged on Thursday, were surely arrested in the recent riots and had links to anti-revolutionary groups," said senior judiciary official Ebrahim Raisi, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
The two men hanged last week were among a group of 11 people sentenced to death on charges including "waging war against God" and being members of armed groups. is involved in the Darkhovin oilfield.
