The families of jailed Iranian protesters say the country’s rulers have proposed a cruel bargain: publicly celebrate the Islamic Revolution that brought them to power, or risk the lives of their loved ones.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Ministry of Intelligence contacted the families of some current prisoners offering what called “an inhumane dilemma” — either attend marches on Wednesday celebrating the 47th anniversary of the revolution, or put the lives of their children at risk.
There is a difference between 4 shootings in a population of 340 million and 3.000 on 80 million. Now repeat that process every 5 years and congratz, you have Iran.
Oh, btw, don’t forget that subtweeting the supreme leader with a “.” can lead to years in prison.
