Breaking News: Student Activist to be Executed as Gang-Member
I did not upload this to Youtube because I know they’ll delete it very soon. It is very graphic. This is taken recently in Iran. Do pay attention to people who shout “Allaho-Akbar”, Allah is great. Great is obviously the last word I’ll use for any religion which supports this.
p.s. Because of huge number of visitors sent by LGF, my server went down. The file is now removed and I used the link from LikeLeak.

Dare I ask what these poor people’s ‘crimes’ were? The woman seemed to live for a relatively long time.

I wanted to know how to embed the video so I could post it on Independent Lost, but It didn’t give me code. I wanted to point how that it is misleading to say Iran hangs people — what they do is more barbaric:
hanging, drops someone and snaps their neck, what I Iran does is strangle them in the air – far more cruel, as this video shows.
Comment by RoxieAmerica — July 21, 2007 @ 6:27 pm
You are correct. This video was on YouTube for less than 24 hours (I saw it there) before it was deleted. The poor woman in the burka was obviously not killed instantly as you can see her feet flailing.
I disagree about the religion part of your comment. There is a difference between religion and political ideology. While the Pope may want the entire world to be Catholic, he is hardly calling for a holy war against every other religion. Islam is a political ideology that NEEDS to wage war. Whether against it’s own people or against sects that don’t exactly believe the “correct” version, it requires war and hatred to survive. I know of no other “religion” that feels that the people that God has placed on this earth, should be removed by “faithful” “believers.”
Society has a responsibility to remove murderers from its midsts. However, to put a rope around their necks and strangle them to death while they suffer, is that Gods will? Let them rot in jail until they die. A public display of hatred has only one purpose, to signal to the citizens of the state that their government is willing to kill anyone to stay in power. End this practice and you take away that power.

I have not been able to watch this video yet because I have trouble with .wmv files, but I downloaded it to see later. It does remind me of the many videos I have seen from Iraq, firing squads with children in them shooting other children etc. Same thing, shouting “Allaho-Akbar” while killing people. Of course I have no idea what the reasons were for the executions, however, there is not a single legitimate reason for them.

Unbelievable, the idiots watching and yelling Allah will be hanging from their necks next. Turning a crane into a method for execution is beyond barbaric, death by strangulation is a cowardly act of sub intellectuals (the mullahs). The poor people of Iran need to liberate themselves from what has to be the worst government in the world. We all need to support the dismantling of that sinful entity.

That’s strangulation all right, not hanging. In hanging,a you have a sudden drop. The point of the sudden drop is to break the neck cleanly, thus killing quickly.
Vile. No matter what these people did, this is not the way to end this. If you execute someone, at least make it a clean execution.

Seems to me, this is part of the store. Good journalistic practice requires that to be covered.

This style of execution, called a Suspension hanging, is currently popular in Iran. I proper, short drop, hanging elicits instant death. However the suspension hanging is intended to produce a slow and extremely agonizing death.
And just a quick correction to a comment above. The Pope actually is not interested in converting everyone to Catholicism. This practice ended with the reformation some 500 years ago.

Comment by Christopher Hyde — July 24, 2007 @ 3:54 am
If it’s what the majority of the people want, then why are you trying to ‘liberate’ them? The people who were hung probably knew the consequences for their actions. Just because you choose a system where someone can rape your 5 year old child, spend 30 odd years in jail and then be free again, all the while living off tax, doesn’t mean these people want the same.
Oh, and if you look at the stats, they’ll show you it’s far more effective too.

When they killed 14-year-old Mona for the “crime” of teaching childrens’ classes as a Baha’i (Dedicated to the Glory of God) she kissed the noose and forgave her hangman.
This (hanging, strangulation, death by beating in prison, death by pogrom) has been inflicted upon the Community of the Most Great Name (followers of The Glory of God) for 163 years now!

Comment by Karridine — July 24, 2007 @ 6:05 am
Tom Jones: #26: Islam’s “Reformation” began May 23, 1844 when the Qaim (The Bab) announced Himself and was recognized by Mullah Husayn.
The Bab, in turn, announced the Coming of Baha’u'llah, God Made Manifest for THIS Day and Age; then The Bab (The Gate of God, the “gate” for Baha’u'llah) ENDED the Islamic Dispensation, and the Reformation was finished when the Muslims, as prophecied by Muslim holy men, KILLED the Qaim, July 9, 1850.
Baha’u'llah brings ‘True Islam’ for the whole world, but the Muslim mullahs and imams fear and hate His teachings, not least of all because Baha’u'llah ‘gave power to the people’ and abolished the priesthoods and eliminated mullahs and imams from the Faith of God.
Baha’u'llah ALSO teaches that God sees men and women as equal humans; God sees ALL humans (no matter what race or color) as HUMANS, with equal rights and equal responsibilities; God sees ALL humans as having the inborn ability to KNOW and LOVE…
So imams have been withholding this information from Muslims for more than 150 years, but SOON Muslims worldwide will learn the Good News of His Coming, and they will enter True Islam by declaring their faith as Baha’is!

Karridine, my friend, I knew I would see you here! I heard (via podcast) a remarkable speech given at the AEI concerning the necessity for and probability of a different sort of reformation in Islam. Not a revelatory one, but a dogmatic one, and how it can truly only come from within Islam. Just the same, I would like to know for what supposed reason these folks were so cruelly murdered.

The “short drop” was standard in the western countries until around the 1850s. While strangulation does occur, the actual death is usually due to heart failure. Because the noose constricts the blood supply to the brain, the body attempts to get the heart to beat harder and faster. While it sas a bit better than being hanged, drawn, and quartered, the margin was not overly large. It is a truly barbaric and nasty way to implement the death penalty.
A barbaric people who should be extinguished.

It’s funny that everyone talks about the method of the execution…it took the woman a long time to die. As though killing her quickly is alright. We “christians” have the death penalty in America. Our President laughed at a plea from a woman in texas we she asked that her death sentence be commuted. He laughed. She died.

The original poster never said it was only 1200 years old – merely that this is when Christian authorities started using force against heretics and unbelievers.
Pointing out that Christians used to behave awfully doesn’t mean Christianity is inherently vile. It just means that Christian culture has grown up since the Middle Ages. The Muslim world, sadly, still has a hell of a lot of growing up to do.

Karridine,
My heart goes out for you. You seem to have a great knowledge of Islam. My guess is that you are a Muslim, or were a Muslim at one time. Have you ever studied Christianity, or the Catholic (Orthodox) Christian religion?
You will have much to gain if you study this religion. Mohammad quotes the Jews and Christians many time in the Qu’ran and Hadith. However there are many great differences.
You would find interest in those differences.

To the previous posters:
Watching Republicans tangled in their own inconsistencies is almost as cruel. Executing people is barbaric, especially via this method; and yet the American justice system has murderers executed all the time. The woman, incidentally, is dying exactly the way she killed her husband and his parents: by strangulation (http://kamangir.net/2007/07/21/execution-in-the-islamic-republic-very-graphic/).
I can hear the Republican mental clockwork ticking:
“after all, as a good ballsy Republican I support the death penalty. Yet the method cruel. Conclusion: bomb Iran! They are barbaric, so bomb Iran!; kill them by the thousands!; wipe out the whole country, er I mean just the regime–we can liberate the rest (the costs of liberation? — so it cost 600,000 dead in Iraq, who’s counting when we can save one victim of public execution?) Wait, I’m confused, who do we kill barbarically and who do we save from barbarism? Pained overcompensation for doubt: let’s get more abstract, let’s really globalize this: it’s not the regime per se, it’s Islam that’s the problem. That cruel religion! Bomb them! More doubt: But that means a lot of dead Iranians. Or do we just convert them to Christianity and kill their leaders, Coulter style? (Moment of profound doubt: wait, haven’t Christians killed far more historically, both medievally and in modern times?–including recently 600,000 in Iraq and a million Iranians via an Iraq proxy in the 1980s–I forget; should I be upset about all these deaths or just about this one public execution? Is it really about Islam or is it about a political regime and certain enabled ignorant backwater constituencies that exist in every society? Is bombing Iran the solution? Did that work well in Iraq–did we save lots of lives there?).”
This execution is no more a representative of Islam than Timothy McVeighs and right wing Christians and rabid Iraq war supporters are representative of the average American. Suggestion: read something; discover that are many moderate Muslims in the Middle East. Meahwhile, visit another country and discover that human beings elsewhere are … human; and that barbarism elsewhere is not a justification for … your barbarism. But for God’s sake, read something.
By the way, you can easily find similar pictures for the United States–the mores not of Islam but of our hallowed forefathers are at stake: learn about the hanging of the Lincoln conspirators: that’s right, a short drop (common in the 19th century as a a previous poster noted); public; lots of pictures; a woman in a long dress (who was probably innocent incidentally); minute minutes of agonized writhing. Lesson: turn off Rush Limbaugh, get off your computer, and pick up a fucking history book.
If only we could go back in time and civilize-bomb that barbaric American regime.
Comment by Wes — July 25, 2007 @ 12:48 am
After following the link above to see the crimes they were convicted of (multiple murders and conspiracy to commit murder) I believe that these three would have been executed in America, as well. I also think a great many Americans would have cheered that outcome, even if the execution would have been private, and less brutal.
So given that we are talking about degrees here, do some of you want to take back your “Death to the pagan scum” rhetoric?

At first sight with no information as to why they are being killed it seems barbaric. If in fact she did kill her husband and hired the other two men to kill his parents and brother…then frankly, fuck them they deserve it. I wish we were as swift here in the U.S. especially since we build more jails than schools with the average cost of $50K per prisoner per year. There is no difference between Islam & Chrisianity with the exception of changing with the times and being more discrete yet hypocritical. In my humble opinion all religions were spawned from the same story just with their different versions and can not be taken seriously at all…
Comment by smokey — July 26, 2007 @ 10:06 am
Now, according to some reports, the four were executed for murder and conspiracy. This might be the case, but, frankly, who the hell knows? Iran’s judiciary routinely trump up ludicrous charges or tag on extra charges like ‘rape’ or ‘murder’ to sow confusion amongst local and international human rights campaigners.
The process and methods by which these verdicts are arrived are extremely dsyfunctional and arbitary as well. The judiciary, legal system and courts, in general, in Mullah ruled Iran are absolutely dysfunctional. Two different people can be sentenced to two different punishments for exactly the same crime depending on how much each one is favored by those in charge of passing the sentence. If murder, torture and rape was to be applied across the board, then many of the ruling mullahs and their cohorts should have been stoned or hanged to death long ago. Not to mention that many of the articles which currently exist in Islamic government constitution are not adhered to or are generally so vague and codified that one can interpret them any way one wants to and is expedient. They are highly subjective. Check out capital offense, is actually mentioned in IR constitution including articles 83, 102 and 104??and others.
Basically, if you’re a Basiji or IRGC (e.g. Lat year murderer Basiji freed after spending a few days in jail see: Iranian.com) or part of the regime, you can get away with anything but if you’re not part of the regime clique, then you’re out of luck.
Take for example these two cases:

somebody above mentioned why dont people go to the streets after seeing state sanctioned atrocities everyday…well that is the question that haunts me…why dont they? what else needs to happen to them..in every sphere of life iranians have been reduced to partial shadows of who they used to be.
where are the persians that hate islam? that recoginize that this regime operates everything through an islamic lense… their institutions, human rights, economics, politics etc…they are all islamic

I get the feeling that the entire Islamic world is so fascist, and so quick to execute, and torture and human suffering are so commonplace, and so many of the people are so freakin’ self righteous, that individual human lives are of very little importance.
I have noticed though, that the lives that are of little importance are always the lives of “the other guy.” They seem to go over the top with anger and grief when their own family members are killed.

I pride Iran for having the courage to clean up society and get rid of horrible no good people. This is just!
Kamangir: Mark, let’s go beneath the surface. Many of these “criminals” have been raised in bad neighborhoods in broken homes. So, the society has had a big rule in this. Arresting and beating these people is forgetting the fact that they are solely the consequences of a broke society.

Ahh! Islam. Not only have I always felt islam is a creaking rusty old train that is heading deeper into a cave, but the tracks will come to an end against a huge rock. The rock could be the civilised world that will say enough is enough and wipe out every muslim institution, or it may be the muslims themselves. Maybe they will see sense and discard this backward cult and come blinking into the light.

It is clear that the men have been shown the mercy of being drugged (they hardly kick), but the lady is allowed to suffer the full horror.
More proof, if any more were needed, that Islam is a wicked and women hating cult. This IS allowed under Islam, as is murder and bombings.
The civilised world should resist Islam and Muslims at every corner.

Serves them right if they were adultrers. Only such punishments can stop acts of theft and adultrers which have no place in Islam. Islam is a religion of peace, but there is always a punishment for people doing wrong things. I dont feel sorry at all for the men and the lone woman and i dont care how they were killed. If they committed adultry, they dont deserve to live.
And please dont bring religion in between. There is capital punishment amongst christians too .

I have linked here from my website. No matter what these people did, even it was murder and the case was open and shut, no-one deserves to die like this. We would never treat animals in this way in the west.
As for the comment by “dada”. Don’t expect us not to bring religion into this. It’s ALL about religion. Sharia Law is the basis of your religion. So don’t make stupid remarks. Iran and other states like this insist that this is the law according to “Allah”.
And to think Ahmadinejad, whose name nicely morphs into – ‘MeDjihadNaa’ – spoke on British TV on Christmas Day and preached to US about what “Jesus would have said” about OUR western values. If the Channel 4 people, many of whom would undoubtedly be homosexual (that is the way in the western media, and bothers me not one jot) had thought about Iran’s laws, they’d be right to be shocked. In Iran, just for existing as homosexual, they’d be hoisted like this.
‘Hoist on their own petard’, you might say.
Btw, capital punishment is banned in the EU as in much of America. And wherever the west uses it, it is NEVER practised in public.
These people are worse than animals. These kill for ‘Allah’. What kind of God…?
Thanks for posting it, anyway, Kamangir. We need to know.

you people are a bunch of racist cocksuckers. you motherfuckers claim to be outraged by these convicted murderers being hung yet you call “muslims” “worse then animals,” “a barbaric people who should be extinguished,” “sand niggers [who] should all be killed,”etc. you dont give a fuck about them; when you posted the video you didnt say why these people are being executed or voice outrage at the death penalty. if was all “hah religion of peace?, im a twat, blah blah blah”. quit pretending your outraged at this video when your really jerking off to it.
as if if the u.s.a. doesnt have the death penalty. as if the gas chamber or lethal injection are humane methods of killing people. as if you arent the same scum who cheer “USA” everytime you white shits commit aggression on yet another third world nation and slaughter thousands, if not millions, of people. as if the “west” isnt living of the economic exploitation of billions of the worlds people who are nothing but “cheap labor”, “strategic/national interest”, and backward savages to them. as if it wasnt the usa that overthrew democracy in iran. as if it wasnt the usa that gave billions in weapons to the “mullahs” in the eighties so the yankees could fund their terrorist forces in latin america.
fuck you motherfuckers and your pompous self righteous cocksucking. i love the turd that calls the “mullahs”, i.e. the iranian people, “vile” for this execution and then immediately afterwords writes about americas death penalty: “And the death penalty is NOT barbaric! The citizens of a state or nation have a right to see retribution done.” good riddance, talk about cognitive dissonance. now theres a savage yankee shit that needs to evolve.

Hello to my all human friends.
This is no religion teaching. There are many Islamic state , who just want to protect their government allways haras their own people, so that no civilian should raise the voice against injustice. kings have their own rules for their own families and different for the public. They all ways give the name to the man made law as sharia, where as it is total their own personal law just to keep the public quite and let the cruals keep on rulling.
It is just a stupid on all the government in so called Islamic states that if they are real muslims then they have to stop and do not disgrace the religion. BIG BIG shame.
You all will see that one day will come once these stupids Islamic govermnet, who makes their own law and call it as Sharia will be hanged by their own sons and daughters, but they will not call it as Sharia.
