Iran executed a second prisoner on Monday convicted over crimes committed during the nationwide protests challenging the country's theocracy, publicly hanging him from a construction crane as a gruesome warning to others.

The execution of Majidreza Rahnavard came less than a month after he allegedly fatally stabbed two members of a paramilitary force after purportedly becoming angry about the security force's killing of protesters.

    1. In the past the CIA launched a coup overthrowing their democratically elected leader Mossadegh, and installing the Shah as an American puppet. (CIA Operation Ajax 1953)

    2. @Kevin Jenner I’m very well aware of that however the Shah did not massacre its own people, this government is killing and terrorizing everyone and they have to be stopped.

  1. USA: Kills 1 million iraqis
    Iran: Executes a few protestors
    USA: Nah, nah, you can’t do that. ❌

  2. Despite the economic downturn,I’m so happy☺️, I have been earning $29,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
