Now Navid&#8217;s execution will only add fuel to the flames of the Iranian people&#8217;s uprising. In this regard, the state-run Etemad daily on Tuesday wrote: &#8220;Wasn&#8217;t the Judiciary aware of the Iranian society&#8217;s sensitivity and anxiety? Didn&#8217;t they know this case [Navid&#8217;s execution] is no longer a regular case, and any hastily and imprudent action could increase the price the system has to pay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now the regime must pay both a massive social and political price.<\/p>\n<p>Amid its increasing international isolation and almost a week before the activation of the UN &#8220;snapback&#8221; mechanism, while the regime had invested in the European Union&#8217;s appeasement policy, Navid&#8217;s execution further distances the EU from the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Germany&#8217;s embassy in Iran strongly condemned Navid Afkari&#8217;s execution, as did the Foreign Ministries of France and the United Kingdom. Also, the scheduled trip of the regime&#8217;s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, to Europe was canceled. He was supposed to travel to Berlin, London, and Paris to strengthen the appeasement policy and find a breakthrough for the regime, crushed under sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, the state-run Hamdeli daily wrote: &#8220;On one hand, the Iranian delegation will be constantly questioned by the European media about this sentence. On the other hand, European leaders should answer for Zarif&#8217;s trip to their countries, given the recent incidents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-e1598946307486\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-e1598946307486.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-e1598946307486\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the past 40 years, oppression and export of terrorism have been the regime&#8217;s two pillars of existence, and the mullahs have never changed course in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 1988, the mullahs <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/20932-the-1988-massacre-in-iran\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">massacred over 30,000<\/a> political prisoners.

Navid&#8217;s execution was also meant for the same reason.<\/p>\n<p>But Navid&#8217;s case, with an international campaign both before and after his execution, particularly the Iranian Resistance&#8217;s role in echoing his voice, turned this execution into a trap for the mullahs&#8217; regime.<\/p>\n<p>The regime&#8217;s desperate attempts to portray Navid as a &#8220;murderer&#8221; rather than a protester and rebellious youth failed due to an international campaign against his execution that showed Navid as what he indeed was: a hero.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as to the international community, mainly European powers, condemning Navid&#8217;s execution or canceling Zarif&#8217;s trip is not enough and will not save the lives of thousands of other detained protesters. European powers should expel the regime&#8217;s ambassadors and intelligence agents from their countries, shut down the mullahs&#8217; embassies, and end their trade and relations with this brutal regime. If Europe had condemned Navid&#8217;s death sentence in advance, he might have been alive today. Iranian people await strong measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The execution of Navid Afkari, Iranian wrestling champion and now a national hero, continues to have political and social consequences for both the Iranian people and the regime and brings [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":226192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,15],"tags":[141,198,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-226190","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-human-rights","9":"tag-human-rights","10":"tag-ncri","11":"tag-iran-protests"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Iran: The Consequences of Navid Afkari\u2019s Execution;
