So why are hanging not deterring drug users?

by Simorgh5555 on

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.

PLEASE SUPPORT MILITARY ACTION.
