Two
months have passed since the May presidential “elections” in Iran that
saw the incumbent Hassan Rouhani reach a second term. The pro-Iran
appeasement camp in the West went the distance to raise hopes over the
hoax of Rouhani rendering major reforms.
These
voices somehow described Rouhani as a “reformist” and completely
neglected the over 3,000 executions during his first term as president.
Reports from across the country are turning out to be very disturbing,
signaling more troubling times to come in reference to human rights
violations.
As fellow Forbes contributor Ellen R. Wald reported, “On July 16, news came out that an American graduate student at Princeton University named Xiyue Wang had been sentenced to 10 years in an Iranian prison for ‘espionage.’”
This
is Iran again resorting to old tactics of taking Westerners as hostage,
mainly dual citizens, to be used as bargaining chips in advancing
objectives and politics in negotiations with interlocutors.
Another
practice the regime in Tehran will continue is sending scores to the
gallows. The Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran
issued a report recently indicating 57 individuals have been executed across #Iran in the beginning of July alone.
These
alarming reports have all arrived only after a recent tour launched by
the mullahs for dozens of foreign ambassadors to visit the notorious
Evin Prison located in the hilltops of northern Tehran.
But of course, no #human rights
organization or international prison expert were invited, only selected
areas of the prison were shown, and merely hand-picked images were
provided to the media to depict a highly peaceful environment and go
against any claims of rights violations.
