This government and these mullahs are just the current face of our enemies. The enemy has the people worried about headscarf, food and shelter while they rob the country of its resources. Their days are numbered. They will self destruct.

The problem is the Islamic Republic. Iranians are all equal, both in good and bad. kurds and persian are both Iranian peoples so the problem in iran is not ethnical but lack of human rights..Islamic Republic punishes everyone who works agains them..no matter ethnicity..Another Iranian journalist named Zahra Kazemi was killed in prison and she was persian like many others..so dón´t make this an ethnic matter..

@shoromeo

I agree... Did they get away with that?

Of course, the regime does not execute people because they are a part of an ethnic group. This regime executes those who challenge the regime by exposing lies and propaganda. The mullahs do everything to stay in power. That's why they jail/torture/execute those who speak the truth. The mullahs are against such basic rights.

As an Iranian, I hate to see my people suffering from the crimes of this stupid regime. This includes my Kurdish brothers and sisters. It's very important that you sign the petition and try to be more active so we can save this man from death.

Here is the URL to the petition:

I have signed petition and am going to ask others I know to do the same.

A quote from an Iranian philosopher Kahlil Gibran.. " If one could rise but one cubit above country , race and self then one would indeed be godlike ."

Its hard to have faith in humanity when in the 21st. Century we are still executing people East and West. All of us have blood on our hands .

The French last used the guillotine in 1978.

We must put life over money and educate for free.
