Public sentiment is predominantly one of outrage, sadness, and frustration over the Iranian regime's execution practices and human rights abuses. There is strong support for the Iranian people's protests, a call for international intervention, and a deep disappointment towards the international community's silence. Many commenters express solidarity with victims, particularly political prisoners and minorities, and criticize media narratives perceived as biased. Overall, a clear desire for accountability and action against the oppressive regime is evident.

Someone get Salman, Abdul, and Masoud on the line, they must have just missed the memo.

Razorwipe

Worth pointing out that this ignores China because we dont have good data on the death penalty their, but it almost certainly *alot*.


The report itself note:
"The report’s figures do not include the executions believed to have occurred in China, which remains “the world’s lead executioner”, North Korea and Vietnam. In all these countries, data on the use of the death penalty is classified as a state secret"

Weird-Tooth6437

These are non-western countries so it is okay. Let's only concentrate on the USA.

HSG1984

What's the common thread that ties these all together?

[deleted]

This cruelty is abominable.  It is terrible that physical torture, mutilation, extreme confinement conditions and executions are still deemed to be legitimate responses to offenses.

no-dress-rehearsal

So is this a call for the US to go ahead and fight for human rights in Iran? Because that sure as hell went well in Iraq.

WooMeUp

Please stick to anti-israel content in the United Nations sub.

Mediocre_Cut_6498

Israel has been executing people for 75 years.

agelessdope

You’re talking like you know but you’ve failed to even look up what Ansar Allah themselves said about their reasoning for closing shipping lanes.

It’s not arrogant to tell you you are loud and empty because you’re not giving up even though you’re demonstrably incorrect

AmoremCaroFactumEst

Trying to manufacture consent for America-Israel’s upcoming bombing campaign?

traanquil

Christ the propaganda has really kicked in

ThePandaReborn

Yeah, they do that. That still doesn’t make it okay for Israel to bomb them and then whine if they bomb back.

brydeswhale

Since when did you give a fuck about Iranians dying? Because the death toll from bombing them into the Stone Age is going to far exceed several hundred.

Israel is a nation of monsters with no regard for human life.

Getbywithalittlehelp

Seriously, Ok you remove the leadership of this government, who is the likely group to fill the power vacuum that will create? What happens to the 600+ pounds of enriched uranium that is already there? I can tell you the leading faction that is in the best position with money, training, experience and weapons who would likely fill it the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) The radical faction of the  current religious part of their government and the one with the most manpower, weapons, training, and experience, and their collection of smaller militias and factions that have been used in the past to crack down on protestors. There are a lot of problems with the current government of Iran, however creating a power vacuum with a bunch of enriched uranium mixed creates a dangerous mess. Toppling this government will not help Israel in the long run and will destabilize the entire region. The proxies that Israel has been training and supplying will completely be off leash and the entire region will spiral. Also using force to take out their nuclear programs isn't going to solve the problem, it will make what ever remains even more willing to obtain nuclear weapons to hope to stop future invasions of their country. Also how do you think they would respond? How would the US respond if someone started trying to destroy our military installations that contain even just one leg of our nuclear triad?

PotatoHighlander

Is this some new wave approach to Hasbara? It’s fucking piss weak if so

Melodic_Finger_8143

America &amp; Israel both still have the death penalty too.

rainferndale

Civilised countries, like the US, don't operate under a theocracy, don't execute people, nor curtail their civil/human rights of their citizens.

ducayneAu

The worst type of authoritarian government is the one that kills its own people by the hundreds every year.

Iran carried out executions at “an alarming rate” last year with at least 975 people killed, the United Nations chief said in a report that also cited other human rights abuses, from barriers to freedom of expression to the use of torture and arbitrary detention.

U.N. deputy human rights commissioner Nada Al-Nashif, who presented the report to the Geneva-based Human Rights Council on Wednesday, urged Iran to halt all executions as a first step toward a ban.

Foreign-Lost84

Give them a break they’ve been playing spot the Mossad agent for a while now

Steampunk007

It makes what Israel does look like childs play.

PossibleDiscipline90

I'm hoping for a WWI-type situation where both sides collapse.

John-Mandeville

Isn't it funny how the entire Western media apparatus seems to be coalescing to the consensus that War with Iran is justified? 

It's almost like they all got talking points at the same time and decided to follow through with their mass influence campaign ...

Notice how almost every single news television program, including those so-called liberal programs, are praising the bombing. Having so-called experts and guests that are pro regime change. 

That s*** might have worked on older generations in the age before the Internet really took off, but young people today aren't buying this crap. 

No f****** war with Iran. Their governments horrible misdeeds of the past do not justify bombing them and going into a war with them today. 

No more regime change wars!!! We did this song and dance bull shit with Iraq and it cost over a trillion dollars and thousands of lives.

WonderfulVanilla9676

Pretty sure if you don't spy against Iran you probably won't get executed right?

macross1984

I really wish we'd stop calling shit "international law"

Unless there's legitimate reprecussions that the offender KNOWS 100% they WILL face for breaking it then its not a law its a suggestion, humanity has proven it time and time again. 

The only reason I pay for my groceries is because I know if I don't i'm gonna get charged, lose my job due to a criminal record etc, if I could steal a cart full of groceries every week and get nothing more than a finger wag and told they're "very disappointed with me" i'd never pay for groceries again.

Don’t tell Trump he will want to do more

Loose-Orchid-899

Only  24 in the US
Trump is going to take that as a challenge

Lots of Americans were taken in by Canadians when flights were diverted after 9/11.

G-bone714

Gander, Newfoundland is also the only place outside the US where there is a piece of the World Trade Center. We sent it there in thanks to the people of Gander for sheltering the passengers of all the transatlantic flights that were in the air on 9/11. Canadians are our friends, folks.

\*ETA\*: I am apparently behind the times (I'm old, it happens a lot now) and there are indeed now pieces of the WTC in several other places around the world. The commonality of all of them is that they were given to countries who *are our allies* (I am American) and who President Trump is now actively shitting on and trying to make into our enemies. My overall point with the post is that the Canadian people (or the Brits, or the Kiwis, or anyone else) are not the enemies of the American people like President Jackass and his masters would like everyone to believe. These nations are our *friends* and we should be treating them as such.

To Canada (and France, and the UK, and everyone else): know that there are American people who remember and value your friendship, going all the way back to the aid from France at the founding of our nation. We are sorry about the current President and his antics.

TwoWheeledTraveler

Trump is saying Canada is one of the nastiest countries to deal with...sigh

Puzzleheaded_Dot4345

They were so grateful that they made the movie Argo and took all the credit.

Beneficial_Cash_8420

I'm grateful for Canadians **now** as well. They're actually more or less unified against an American administration that flaunts the law for personal gain and populist bullshit, meanwhile 1/2 of Americans don't seem to be unified against that. Clearly they are still allies to decent folk.

ScenicAndrew

Decent people and they even wrote thank you!

Insolvator

Fun fact, that Argo movie is almost completely historically inaccurate.

kewlbeanz83

Nickla2018

And then they promptly forgot about Canada's help. And then they made a big Hollywood movie about it where they completely failed to acknowledge our (Canada's) crucial role in the rescue

ObscureObjective

Then they did a movie about it where the Americans take all the credit.

Euler007

Don't forget water bombers during the California wild fires.

AcanthocephalaNo5889

Is this the hostage crisis that Carter fixed and Regan took credit for?

qquicksilver

So, what you are saying is, they said "thanks". But did they wear a suit.

daiaomori

Just gotta look at the motivation, why would you want to divide the western world? Who benefits from that????

This is all very transparent

PedroEglasias

"Have you said thank you once?" JD Nonce 😈

slindogar

Americans were grateful for Canadian aid for pretty much everything throughout history

Basically ANY time the US needed help, Canada was there.  Wildfires?  Canada sends water bombers.  9/11?  Divert your potentially dangerous planes to Canadian airports and house everyone.  Wars, trade, you name it, Canada was there to back up the shit that USA started.

There has never been, and likely never will be, two countries in the history of the world that had each others backs like Canada and USA.  All thrown away because some dumb fucks got conned by an orange turd

completelytrustworth

Lots of us are always grateful for our Canadian friends and neighbors. What’s going on here is a disgrace. It’s more than humiliating and embarrassing.

Only 23% of Americans voted for the baboon’s ass and his minion turds.

duburose

What's sad is that acts of kindness like this usually don't happen to US citizens abroad. 

Canadians always kept a voluntary hand of friendship to Americans due to the extraordinary circumstances of history between the two nations.

Americans have come to accept, or even demand such treatment now. It's an absolute disgrace if we were to think about it too much.

TheYellowFringe

Many of us Americans still are, and will continue to be grateful for our long friendship with Canada. What is happening in this country's government is shameful and embarrassing.

Stupid_Guitar

WE dont need to see this, your restarted President needs to see this. Push his face in history books but make sure its pictures only since this buffoon cant read for shit

Frontal_Lappen

I appreciate you Canada. Also, is Justin single?

Imnotdrunkokimdrunk

Drivebyshrink

Yeah, Hollywood made sure Americans knew who can take the credit. Thank you Ben Affleck and Argo. PoS country ego.

notmydayJR

That was then.  It's different now.  Tens of millions of Americans are fully supporting what that convicted felon keep saying that Canada should be USA's 51st state.

PingGuerrero

American's don't hate Canada. An orange old person does.

dodeccaheedron

The cult leader threw our alliance with Canada into question.  He doesn’t represent us nor does he have a mandate.  Period.

Alert-State2825

Americans still love Canada. MAGA is uneducated cultists.

pmm2020

And just like now a Republican was on the side of our enemy giving them money to hold the hostages longer so he could hold it against Carter during the election…

SOMEONENEW1999

(Slim) Majority of Americans: "Canada is okay/fine/great/awesome/present."
(Distressingly large) minority of Americans: "Canada is bad! We aren't sure why, but we're supposed to think so! Something about tariffs? What is a tariff? Why would they tariff us?"

Canadians are our friends and so is Mexico.  Any disaster we have be it natural or man Mad, they are first to arrive with firemen to fight fires, water, food, they have given us support at every turn.  They are our friends.

Rightbuthumble

Any sane, rational American citizen is still thankful to Canada for this and the many other times she has helped us in the past. It's just that a very vocal percentage of this country are cult members and cannot stop their self-interest from getting in the way of moving this country into a better world for us all. 

  
I sincerely hope that any and all Canadian people know and understand that this orange buffoon does not speak for the majority of us, it's just that it seems the majority of us can't be assed to vote at least one day out of every 4 years.

nullthegrey

shitting on jimmy carter is a new one for reddit

doscomputer

More than half of us down here in the US are still fans of Canada. Don’t let the douche bags that call themselves politicians in our country fool you.

And yet another stellar moment for the American Republican party.

Simple_Mycologist679

And Reagan was very grateful to the Iranian's during the hostage crisis! 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_October_Surprise_theory

YoursTrulyKindly

A select few Americans who were directly affected have been grateful a handful of times throughout history. 

For the average American, we are a non factor. An afterthought. Not necessarily ungrateful, just we might as well not exist it would make no difference to them. 

And I say that as someone whose wife and kids are dual citizens. I think she would agree too.

HLef

Meanwhile, the GOP was betraying the US at this very moment.

ferdaw95

Americans are greatful for Canada and Canadians today. It's MAGA who enjoys disrespecting and harassing our allies. I refuse to believe they represent the majority.

CaptainPixel

How about the time we took all the flights in on 9/11 and then went to war in Afghanistan with them and spent our own blood and treasure hunting down their boogeyman? how about that?

Or the ongoing integration with their armed forces and ours and other NATO countries?

Trump is a loon and we have to block him from doing more damage than he has already done. Let's hope people don't fall into the same mind trap they have before with this kind of person in office.

Many Americans stupidly believe it was the American diplomats who saved them because of Hollywood's version of this real event ...

The_Golden_Beaver

Just a friendly reminder that the people of a country are not necessarily reflected in their leadership. Once it starts getting personal and the people are seen as the problem more than leadership, than the rich and powerful have won. 

PabloBablo

Americans are still greatful. Trump isn't.

AliciaXTC

hey im still grateful! I watch hockey, drink CC and labatts!

ISuperNovaI

The only reason we're on this track of hating Canada is because the Grand Asshole has decided we need to conquer something. 

Nothing more, nothing less. 

If he weren't around, there would literally be no issue. That's how fucked up we Americans are.

It got as bad as it did because of Reagan too

Reddit_minion97

Canadians were also taken hostage too, as I recall, during the Iranian revolution of 1979. Not as much focus on them in the American media of course, but we were in the same boat, figuratively.

pine_tar_bat

I love how the movie warped the story to make the Americans look like the hero’s.

Head-Gold624

The loudest idiots here have a problem with Canada. It's like less that .000001% of us. Everyday people, the type of people that read shit on Reddit, the type that have to wake up and go to work and come home tired every fucking day have no issue with Canada. You guys are doing the right thing. Don't buy our shit. Keep the hate focused on the right people. Most of us were just born here. We can't fully understand why these people are insane anymore than you can. Instead of America vs Canada, Europe, the world...let's just be poor/ working class vs elite. Because that's what it is and always has been. We've got a very lost, confused, mentally unhealthy portion of our population right now. You probably do to. It just happens that there is a big orange spotlight on ours right now. A lot of us here, we're trying to do something. It doesn't make headlines but it's happening. The more we stay divided, the more control they have.

onemanwolfpack21

Canada won't forget how it's involvement was scrubbed from the story when the US made a movie about the whole ordeal!

audiocycle

Thumbkeeper

As a mexican, I can tell you all Canadians that this was doomed to happen.

Just see the general right wing reaction with Mexico, despite Mexico sending rescue workers and military rescue missions to Texas and California whenever there is a natural disaster while we ALSO have natural disasters to attend to, like hurricanes in the past years.

Or when we sent food trucks and medical personel during Katrina.

But hey we are the bad guys too!.....

el_f3n1x187

Some of us still like Canada and hate what's going on too. I hate that our entire populace is getting smeared for this.

Except for a dwindling percentage of dumb asses and an orange clown, the majority of Americans love and appreciate Canada.

Too bad most of the MAGA crowd don't know jack shit about U.S. history.  I'm amazed how uneducated the average American citizen is.

When have we not stepped up to help them out,  it's so frustrating.  Feels like an absolute betrayal.

hizashiYEAHmada

America has helped those in need in the past as well. The country has given aid to other nations for years, helped with natural disasters, fought in WWII with allies to defeat the Nazis. What is the point of all of this back and forth? Both countries and others have helped each other for decades. Now we're going to keep score? Come on.

ThatChucklehead

I am still grateful to Canada. They’ve been great neighbors, and I support them over Trump. - American

a_cat_named_larry

Anyone who believes there was, or ever will be a true reformist as the Iranian president as long as the *ayatollahs choose who is allowed to run for presidency*, is either delusional or an idiot (or both).

There is no reforming of a terrorist regime. The president is cut from the same cloth. 

Fuck the Islamic Regime. 

Free Iran

In 2025, Iran has executed over 1,000 people, marking the highest annual number in nearly three decades, part of a broader campaign against dissent.
