Iran executes dissident journalist Rouhollah Zam

Dissident Iranian journalist Rouhollah Zam was hanged in Iran on Saturday morning, according to state television IRIB.

Zam was found guilty of "corruption on earth," a charge that does not specify a crime​ but ...[text shortened]... 860 journalists and citizen-journalists have been imprisoned or executed in Iran since 1979

That is sad, but it is not uncommon in that region. The real blame for this happening is the CIA. They overthrew the first and last democratically elected leader in that country and the British lobbied for it.

This probably would not be happening today if the CIA had any respect for democracy. They replaced Mossadegh with a brutal dictator, the Shah. Shame on the CIA!

I don't hear you castigating RUSSIA for the 14000 deaths in the Ukraine.
I guess one murder by the US balances out thousands of deaths at the hands of the Russian military.
BTW, ONE murder is too many but you single out the US while thousands are killed by Russia, including poisoning of dissidents but for you, the US is the worse country in the world so why don't you just move to Russia where they would undoubtedly welcome you with your anti US stance and maybe even give you a job as a talking head.

FLAG WAVING. Sure. I SAID why don't you castigate RUSSIA.

So we have killed 'more than one'.

So to you even if it was 100 killed by drones, that makes it a thousand times worse than the thousands killed in active warfare against Ukraine by Russia.

Like I said, you would be more than welcome in Russia, you could be a Russian talking head on TV there, continually berating the US much to Putin's delight.

I assume therefore you condone the actions of Moscow Mitch stopping the sanctions against Russia for them taking over Crimea which is why the UN started the sanctions.

And now oh so coincidentally a Russian aluminum plant costing 200 MILLION dollars just HAPPENS to show up in Kentucky, Moscow Mitch's state.

So for you, you APPLAUD Russia taking over Crimea and attacking the eastern front of Ukraine.

What makes you ignore that fact? Do you have some hidden agenda against Ukraine?

How many journalists (thread topic) have been executed in China?

@Duchess64
Sorry, did not know the numbers were that high. Apologies are in order.

Also in the report, Trump signed executive order to not allow the military to give civilian death numbers.

Well with Biden at least THAT will be reversed.
