Sorry I'm just. Reeling. 14 THOUSAND????
Pardon me for having an emotional reaction but while we were distracted by the US Midterms, the Iranian government voted to execute over fourteen thousand protesters who are in custody.
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy.
Nearly 15,000 Iranians have been arrested in connection with the protests, which were spurred by the death of Mahsa Amini in September.
itâs unclear when these protestors are going to be given trials - if at all - but 9 people, the youngest of whom is 17, have already been convicted of crimes punishable by death. two have been given finalized death sentences.
the UN human rights body has scheduled a meeting regarding iranâs human rights situation for the week of nov 21, and the us and eu are trying to get a separate meeting regarding the nuclear situation soon, but the more international awareness and pressure on iran to back down, the better.Â
