Iran executed a champion wrestler, reportedly after torturing a false confession. Critics say he was one of thousands of protesters, and he was targeted as someone famous to try to deter others from protesting. As far as I'm concerned, this is a tyrannical act - the sort trump wishes he could do. I wonder if trump made it worse, more likely for them to execute him.
For once, I am fine with his tweeting, asking Iran to not execute him, saying he'd appreciate it. But how much has trump's hostility to Iran made a plea from him likely to have the opposite effect? His constant attacks on Iran, his assassinating their popular leader, his brutal, deadly sanctions, pretty much made his asking them for something a joke.

Everything in Iran is about whoever is our president and US policy toward them.

Iran has executed a wrestler accused of murder, defying international appeals for him to be spared. Navid Afkari, 27, was sentenced to death over the murder of a security guard during a wave of anti-government protests in 2018. He said he had been tortured into making a confession. Human rights organisation Amnesty International described Afkari's execution as a "travesty of justice". In a leaked recording released by the group, Afkari says: "If I am executed, I want you to know that an innocent person, even though he tried and fought with all his strength to be heard, was executed."
Afkari's brothers Vahid and Habib were sentenced to 54 and 27 years in prison in the same case, according to human rights activists in Iran. In an audio recording leaked from the prison where he was being held, Afkari had said he had been tortured. His mother said her sons were forced to testify against each other. His lawyer had said on Twitter that, contrary to Iranian news reports, there was no video of the moment of the security guard's killing. He added that footage used as evidence in the case was taken an hour before the crime took place.

instead Trump has decided to treat all of the people like unwelcome enemies.
Trump assassinated Solleimani for Israel. Don't get it twisted. The Iranians consider us evil, because we do evil things to the Mideast, and then pretend like we did those things to protect Americans.

My friends from the ME talk about regional politics like it’s a power struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The United States backs the Saudis, and no middle eastern I know likes that regime. It’s brutal, non democratic, and spreads and protects radical Islam. The religious views coming out of there can get very crazy. Iran isn’t so great either, but they are considered a threat to Saudi influence and power n the region.
America has a lot to face when it comes to supporting Saudi Arabia, and it especially includes Trump because of his campaign against Islam. He embraced the Saudis and vowed to then.

Human rights abuses in Iran are well documented. This is just another example of their barbaric and disgraceful treatment of their own citizens.
So is the US.The regime is very sick.
Did trump tweet Iran about the person's life and make a request, and do his actions have any effect on how they react?
Suddenly you care? Is the life of a "wrestler" worth more than other lives? :giggling:
What I know is that Iran executed a wrestler who was apparently also a protester, and now it's President Trump's fault. What I don't know is why.
