Death penalty in Kahrizak case

Two to hang over murder of jailed protesters

BBC: An Iranian military court has sentenced two men to death in connection with the killings of three anti-government protesters, the state news agency said. Prosecutors said the three died after a series of beatings in Iran's Kahrizak jail, where they were held for taking part in last year's election protests. Nine other officials were sentenced to jail and lashes over the deaths, Irna said quoting a court statement. Kahrizak jail was shut in July over concerns about the abuse of inmates. The officials charged in the Kahrizak case - whose names have not been released - were among 12 people facing prosecution over the inmates' deaths >>>

Fall guys to save the regime! regime must be wetting its pants!

The same as abughraib where they put the soldiers in prison blaming them for the killings, even though we all knew the order came from the top (cheney)! Another PR! I guess there are a lot of similarities between the west and IRI! KHAR KHODESHOONAN!

There are 2 kinds of people. Those who are in on the game, and aren't going to fall for this crap (since ya know, they're in on it). And those who don't support the IRI. And they aren't going to fall for this crap either.

It's a step in the right direction

by Escape on Thu Jul 01, 2010 04:16 PM PDT

on a long long path..This may prevent rapes,that's good news,at least better than all the stories of Death Sentence's. I don't want to be negative all the time just because I hate the IRI.Negativity sucks,you can read the people who suffer from it.Every comment,they have to get a jab in.I never want to be like that.The Greens don't need that,leave that for them. I don't know if the guards should recieve the Death Sentence but a long term prision sentence would make me happy.

Another IRI dog and pony show

by Onlyiran on Thu Jul 01, 2010 11:35 AM PDT

that only an apologist or an idiot will believe.  We don't know who these "convicts" are, we don't know what they have done or at what level they were operating (i.e., were they just following orders, etc.).  Knowing IRI's deceitful nature, they could very well be prisoners who are going to be executed and called "prison guards", just like when they were executing the opposition and were calling them drug dealers.

But even if we accept what they say...OK, fine...you're punishing a couple of stooges that caused three deaths (one of them happened to be the son of a prominent regime insider).  What about the rest?  The more than hundred victims who died in the protests?  Are their murderers being punished?  What about Neda's murderer?  What about the basiji who was shooting into the crowds from the rooftop and killed a couple of protesters?  

 Give us a break with the propaganda already...and tell your shameless agents like the one linked below to find a better job.  You ain't gonna fool us.

Believe It or Not

Another manufactured story from a regime with zero “credibility.” Let’s see now.. The trial was behind the door. The details are unknown. Their boss, ie. the prisons’ butcher “Saeed Mortazavi” has been promoted. Thus the accusers could not even have worked in “Kahrizak” prison. They were instead imported from “Venezuela” death row prisons, or they were drug dealers, or they were streets “Ow-bowsh” & “Arazels”, or they were “Green Movers” or they were anybody but the real torturers. Go figure.

Shrouded in secrecy

by comrade on Thu Jul 01, 2010 06:50 AM PDT

The whole entity of this farcical so-called judicial process is owed to one of the victims' being the son of an insider. That's all.

Never late to learn....//davidharvey.org/reading-capital/

“Ghesaas Nafss “

by Fred on Thu Jul 01, 2010 04:43 AM PDT

The indisputable fact is at least one of the three murdered victims--for whom these two low-level Islamist Rapist officials are supposed to be punished--had been raped.

One part of the punishment in the Persian/Arabic text of the “ruling” is the administration of “Ghesaas Nafss “, that is retribution in kind.

The unanswered question is how and who is going to administer that part of the sentence?

Are the Islamist Rapists going to rape their own coworkers?
