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.
