It’s murder. Murder by a few over the entire population. Iran has to stand up to what are nothing more than old frail men in gowns supported by an army.
Errrr, isn’t that the definition of execution? >

I think they mean it as in "Theyre just murdering people" vs "Punishment for crime" >

Which is again a definition of execution, no? Officially murdering someone over a conviction (whatever it may be)?
I get what they’re saying. If they wish to argue that these executions are against the law of the country in question, just say so. >

Per the definition of murder, if it's lawful it isn't murder. >

But since the Iranian government gave itself the right to carry out the executions that makes it lawful and therefore not murder. >

Until the law is repealed by this goverment or the (obviously needed) new one, capital punishment for "waging a war on God" is legal. It isn't like this is a new thing in this backwards country's culture. >

I'm not commenting on the culture. Simply on the fact that we either agree that all capital punishment is barbaric or none is. >

Where has this twit been?
It's a government ordered execution, so... >

I mean yeah? >

Way to call ‘em, Chief. >

So it’s an execution.
Great job UN rights chief, you are right on the edge of comprehending what executions are. >

Kinda the point of executing people. >

Uh, Reuters... 
Hate to break it to ya, but that's all executions.
"Do what we want you to or we kill you." >

Wow those UN guys are really bright and totally not useless at all 👍 >

Killing people to stay in power. >

Khamenei thinks this will discourage protests, but he's just getting people angrier. I hope he has an escape jet fueled up because he'll need to leave the country quickly in the middle of the night. >

I guess the UN rights chief doesn't own a dictionary.
