#BREAKING: An Iraqi man has been sentenced to life in prison in Germany for enslaving and abusing two Yazidi girls, later handed over to ISIS militants. His former partner received nine and a half years, having been a juvenile at the time. Both were arrested in Bavaria last year - DW
Islamic imam in Germany:
“As soon as you enter Paradise, 72 virgins will be waiting for you.
When you’re done with one virgin, the next one will be ready for you. The virgins won’t be jealous of each other.”
How do you even fix this mentality?
Iran executed two men convicted of attempting to storm a military facility during January's anti-government protests. The men were among four facing execution in a crackdown on unrest. https://t.co/EsHDmv8BHO
Authorities in Iran have executed at least six political prisoners and protesters over the past two days.
These individuals were sentenced to death following grossly unfair trials that failed to meet even the most basic due process standards, and were convicted on allegations based on forced “confessions” obtained under torture and coercion.
On May 2, Yaghoub Karimpour, a Turkish citizen and follower of the Yarsan faith, and Naser Bakrzadeh, a Kurdish political prisoner, were executed.
On May 3, Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, a Kurdish protester arrested during the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom protests, was executed.
Also on May 3, three protesters arrested during the recent January protests—Mehdi Rasouli, 25; Mohammadreza Miri, 21; and Ebrahim Dowlatabadi-Nejad—were executed.
Since the start of the war, authorities have executed 28 individuals, including 14 protesters, most of whom were arrested during the recent protests.
🔸The absence of sustained international outcry has emboldened the Islamic Republic to rapidly execute political prisoners with impunity under the cover of war. World leaders must urgently press the authorities to halt all executions and immediately release all political prisoners.
