But what the tactic regime envisaged as a tool to suppress the society backfired, as protests persisted inside and outside Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Locals took to the streets in Tehran and other cities chanting anti-regime slogans. Defiant youth filled walls across Iran with graffiti, vowing to continue the path of Karami, Hosseini, and 750 martyrs of the nationwide uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Freedom-loving Iranians in dozens of cities in Europe, Canada, and the United States, held rallies, paying tribute to Mehdi and Mohammad. They chanted slogans such as \u201cto our dear fellow blood, we will continue till the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The state murder of Karami and Hosseini was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/jan\/07\/iran-executes-two-men-over-alleged-crimes-during-protests-judiciary-says\" rel=\"noopener\">widely condemned<\/a> by the Western governments and lawmakers, with the latter in some countries calling for cutting ties with the ruling theocracy and holding it accountable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The two martyrs were arrested a month ago and were severely tortured to make false confessions. They were accused of killing a security force, Ruhollah Ajamian, in a kangaroo trial without having access to a lawyer. They were accused of <em>Moharebeh <\/em>or waging war on God, a sentence that is mostly punished by death and cannot be appealed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Karami and Hosseini perfectly portray an oppressed nation. Both were from poor families and protested a regime that deprived them of their share of the country\u2019s resources, but they were arrested and executed for asking for their rights.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If the mullahs think <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranRevolution?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranRevolution<\/a> can be stopped through repression, torture, and execution, they are gravely mistaken.

The regime\u2019s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, ordered these executions in a bid to intimidate the restive society. But he failed as protests continued. Instead, these hangings caused much stir in the regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Many regime officials and state media have been warning about the possible international and domestic consequences of these executions. \u201cWe cannot freely and openly execute like before,\u201d the state-run Farhikhtegan daily warned on December 10, 2022, following Mohsen Shekari\u2019s execution.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iranian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iranian<\/a> regime&#39;s Supreme Leader has called on senior state officials to support police brutality and take a stance against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranRevoIution?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranRevoIution<\/a>.

Ajamian was beaten by over 20 individuals. Whose blow caused his death? No one knows. So, we are facing a homicide with no specific murderer, and defendants should have only paid a financial compensation<a href=\"https:\/\/www.khabarfoori.com\/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D8%B4-%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%A7%D8%B3%DB%8C-59\/2982054-%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%84-%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%85-%D8%B9%D8%AC%D9%85%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%AE%D8%B5-%D9%86%DB%8C%D8%B3%D8%AA-%D9%81%D9%84%D8%B0%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%AF%DB%8C%D9%87-%D9%BE%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AE%D8%AA-%D9%85%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D8%AF\">,\u201d he wrote on<\/a> Twitter on January 7.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In other words, even under the regime\u2019s medieval penal code, Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Mohammad Hosseini should not have been executed. Khamenei knew it, yet he ordered their execution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Protests have morphed into a revolution, and Khamenei sees his regime\u2019s downfall on the horizon, so he tries to intimidate people and boost the morale of his demoralized forces, who witness people\u2019s bravery despite the ongoing crackdown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Besides, human rights violations are an inseparable part of the genocidal regime, as it cannot continue its life without executions. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/location\/middle-east-and-north-africa\/iran\/report-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Human rights abuses<\/a>, terrorism, and nuclear weapons are not mere penchants, but they are part of the regime&#8217;s DNA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime&#8217;s core vulnerability, which stimulates its strategic orientations, stems from its historical, political, religious, and social illegitimacy at home. Deprived of a popular base domestically, the regime is sailing too close to the wind. Therefore, it resorts to more human rights violations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yet, Khamenei has so far failed to suppress society and control the situation hence opted to use executions as a weapon, but he shot his regime in the leg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The world community should understand that these state murders reflect the regime\u2019s sheer weakness. The international community should go beyond vocal condemnations of human rights violations in Iran. This would only allow the criminals ruling Iran to continue their killing spree with impunity. Western democracies should cut all ties with the regime and recognize the Iranian people\u2019s right to self-defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the dawn of January 7, Iran&rsquo;s murderous regime hanged two young, arrested protesters, Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Mohammad Hosseini.
