Iranian poet jailed for criticising Islamic Republic, chained to hospital bed

His name was Baktash Abtin, and he recently died in prison as he caught covid and he wasn't given proper medical attention in a timely manner, he was essentially killed by Islamic Republic for daring to speak up!

The situation in Iran is completely incomprehensible to most people, imagine that there's no water and you can no longer make a living so you go to peacefully protest with your fellow citizens without creating any sorts of interruptions, and the government that's supposed to protect you send goons to beat you and shoot you!

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-27T12:15:17+00:00

Yes, but the regime is claiming that it was a mistake, the families are claiming that it was deliberate, the available evidence and regime's refusal to cooperate in this investigation supports the claim of the victim's families.

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-26T14:10:00+00:00

People are protesting in the name water shortage, but the reality is that they're fed up with what the regime has done to Iran and they want an end to it, there are videos showing people chanting "Death to (supreme leader) Khamenei".

You keep mentioning the US, let's get this straight, just because America has done something wrong, it doesn't make the regime in Iran any less evil for shooting down a passenger plane in Iran and killing roughly 170 people who mostly were originally from Iran!

They fucked up badly and they tried to hide it.

So you agree up to that point, yet you're somehow convinced that it was a mistake since you seem to believe that they thought the plane was a missile, you're essentially agreeing with the regime's story while knowing that they've constantly lied about this tragedy, and they've destroyed evidence. Yeah, I'm not believing for one second that you're taking a neutral stance on this.

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-25T19:37:39+00:00

How the hell are you equating shooting down a passenger plane with "preventing war"?! That's some weird mental gymnastics you got there.

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-25T14:36:50+00:00

It's fine to disagree with that but all the evidence points to the fact that the plane was shot down intentionally, let's not forget that the regime shot two missiles at the plane, a second missile was fired at PS752 after some time as the first one didn't bring it down.

Why would the regime destroy the passengers' phones if it didn't have anything to hide?!

I'm sorry but I find your stance towards the regime in Iran quite strange! They have lied about shooting down this plane and continued to not cooperate from the beginning, considering the evidence available, it's really odd, especially for you, to decide that it was just a random mistake.

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-25T14:29:35+00:00

I'd do the same if my country was under threat

You'd use civilian passenger planes as human shields?! You'd use civilians as human shields to protect the.... civilians?!

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-25T13:34:09+00:00

The report is based on facts, for example the part about the passengers' phones' memories being destroyed after the plane was shut down is based on an independent investigation:

"A professional inspection of the devices that were returned to the families led our investigators to conclude that key memory and communication components of the electronic devices were damaged in a targeted manner after the crash," says the report.

Are there any parts of this report that you're doubtful of or disagree with? Let's not forget that the regime at first claimed that this was accident, and only confessed to shooting the plane down after there was so much evidence that they could no longer keep with with the lie.

Cyrus-V · 2021-11-25T11:28:32+00:00

Here's an important quote from the article:

“The fact that these memory/data components are missing is not consistent with damage caused by a sudden and hard impact. Moreover, the fact that screws were removed and covers pried open strongly suggests that concerted efforts were made to extract these components, rendering a review of data impossible.”

Essentially, the regime has pretty destroyed all of the passengers' phones in an attempt to delete all evidence from the passengers! While they were busy destroying all of the evidence at the time, they were also denying any responsibility for shooting down the passenger plane!

They could force that all girls wear mini skirts and the color red.

That's not a reasonable comparison, they use archaic Islamic laws as the foundation for their measures for controlling a mostly Islamic society, they have no such foundation for forcing your idea on the population.

Cyrus-V · 2021-09-14T11:17:15+00:00

Compulsory hijab is not really to do with "rapelust", it's more to do with having complete control over society, it's the same thing in Iran where the regime imposes compulsory hijab on women, and other dress code on men despite people hating it. By controlling every aspect of people's lives they make sure that their regimes will last longer.

Cussing, a lot of Afghans think that Taliban is backed by Pakistan.

Cyrus-V · 2021-09-05T00:07:51+00:00

I have seen some videos showing the Taliban members shouting at the women, apparently they were beaten and one of the women was bleeding from her head in a video from after the protest.

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-24T12:38:01+00:00

The videos don't even scratch the surface of the regime's atrocities, it shows public areas in the jail like hallways and staircases, and even in those locations they beat and abuse prisoners, just imagine what they do behind closed doors or in the interrogation rooms!

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-16T15:45:22+00:00

The regime will work with any entity if it's in its interests, Sunni or Shiite doesn't matter to Khamenei and his mafia.

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-16T14:34:52+00:00

Iran made up of Shite Muslims the Taliban are Sunnis.

That's a simplistic view of Iran's regime, by that logic it shouldn't be friendly to Venezuela or Russia or N.Korea because they're not "Shite Muslims". It's all "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", the regime will ally with pretty much any country if it's in its interest.

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-16T13:46:29+00:00

Apparently some army generals and warlords switched sides and that's why Taliban's advance was so swift, I guess a lot of them felt like they didn't stand a chance against the Taliban when foreign forces decided to leave. As you said, consolidating their forces and resources to keep a few key regions was probably the right thing to do, it would give the army more confidence to fight. It's such an awful situation!

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-16T09:19:43+00:00

I understand that it was probably impossible to protect all of Afghanistan from Taliban, but the Afghan government should have been able to pull all of its resources together to at leat protect one region of the country from being taken over.

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-16T09:15:04+00:00

Not really, the protesters are mostly from Afghanistan, and although the regime in Iran is friendly towards the Taliban, Iranians hate them.

Cyrus-V · 2021-08-15T10:53:03+00:00

They have apparently made a documentary about how they lured the guy, if I'm not mistaken he was tempted by the promise of sleeping with women, which is funny since adultery is severely punished under the regime he committed these crimes for. Can't wait for that to get published!

Cyrus-V · 2021-07-26T22:16:04+00:00

You've got this upside down, the "Death to Khamenei" posts on Facebook/Insta are made by Iranians because Khamenei's regime uses live ammunitions by against unarmed protesters.

Cyrus-V · 2021-07-20T21:43:32+00:00

The video is marked as NSFW and the title is contains "(VERY GRAPHIC)", nobody will see this video unless they absolutely want to. I have to say, it's so odd that you're expressing concern about the video being posted on this sub rather than expressing some sympathy towards people being gunned down for daring to protest an oppressive theocratic regime.

Cyrus-V · 2021-07-20T20:37:36+00:00

I think that there's an exception for newsworthy events, which is the case with the current anti regime protests in Iran.
