A disturbing video of the public execution of three men in Iran has sparked anger among human rights activists.

The graphic video, released by Amnesty International on Thursday, showed guards standing on top of buses draping ropes around necks of three convicts sentenced to death by hanging after being convicted of rape. The men were later hanged from an overhead bridge after the vehicles drove away.

19th July Execution on bus video

Life has no meaning in the Islamic Republic. A human life clinged onto a roap one second and the next his lifeless body dangling in a hideous display of a modern freak show courtesy of the biggest sponsor of terrorism. 8 people die every hour as if they were cattle sent to the slaughter house. 

Think of it, in the United Kingdom 125,000 pigs are killed each year for food. In Iran almost 70,000 people are executed making Iranians just slightly more fortunate than their porcine cousins in Britain. Life is like pig poo in Iran for humans. This is what happens when you have a genocidal terrorist regime in power and a spineless group of opposition in exile who don't want to know or are part of the problem.

Maybe a little off topic

But when I read news like this, I think about all the people that don't necessarily want to get rid of the IR, but simply want to reform it. How people believe the IR is reformable is beyond me.
