>>>So the IR Terror Regime boasts about its robust anti-drug crime and social policies which includes public hanging of alleged frug traffickers.
Repression of social freedoms, lack of personal expression, state controlled media, rampant unemployment, mass poverty, executions and huge disparities between the social class divide drives Iranians to drugs.
Death to the IR. Condemn it. Fight it. Destroy it.
