reported execution of an Iranian teenager for merely sheltering protesters

[Ihatetomatoes]

I saw this posted on social media. Doesn't seem to be much focus on individuals like him, brave enough to raise his voice, executed for sheltering others. 😥

🚨TRAGIC: While the world focuses on other conflicts, the Islamic Republic of Iran executed a 19-year-old boy today.

His name is Erfan Esfandiari. He was his parents’ only child.

He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His only “crime,” according to the regime, was opening his door to shelter protesters fleeing from security forces.

Erfan was one of 12 young men charged in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan after being arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the regime hanged him.

This is a government so afraid of a generation that refuses to stay silent that it executes teenagers for showing basic compassion.

Say his name. The regime is trying to erase him. His grieving parents are left with nothing — not even the freedom to mourn openly.

its true, in the middle ages, you don't start questioning the church just because you disagree with their views remember Galileo and his star system anyone ? people seem to forget Christianity was just as bad with its rules on others as some of the nations are today

If no one ever questioned the church or whoever is in authority nothing would ever change. If Galileo had kept his mouth shut then where would we be today? Although his fate was a lot less barbaric that the victims of the Iranian regime.

But it's pointless arguing with someone who defends authoritarianism so fuck this I'm out. Enjoy posting BS from your comfortable home where you have ability to speak freely without being publicly hanged.

and how helpful is democracy when every issue is slowed down because everyone wants to debate every single thing the country does ?

but by your logic the same applies to anyone questioning irans leaders dont like the govt change countries ?

You are far from clear, but do you actually have any idea how difficult it is for the (many, many) people who oppose the regime to leave Iran?

You have some very odd views, poorly expressed too.

expression is my weakness, but if they know the risks of protesting then why with all due respect protest if it gets you killed ?

😂

They are brave and want change. They don't want to meekly do what they are told. You are incredibly lucky to live in a free speech society so your bullshit is allowed. Lucky you. Not so lucky them.

and how many would happily see the west defeated once they change their govt ?

Because they want a different, freer life for their country and themselves and their children. Some people are that brave, always have been.

Or perhaps you think the French Resistance would have done better to collaborate?

or pawns in someone else's strategy

You do not sound profound. You sound emotionless, compassionless and without the slightest real knowledge of human history or motivation.

when you study intelligence services backed coups, or history of intelligence service operations yes one does become cynical to various reasons people protest

so tell me im wrong tell me no intelligence service has supported any coups, that people only protest for honest reasons ? tell me im wrong and that histroy does not prove my point ?

Haven't answered my question about the French Resistance,

apologies i missed that one, personally i dont know anything about the French Resistance, so cannot comment

Seriously, feeding a troll just makes it bigger.

i ask questions and im right about coups and over throws of govts, by other interests and histroy proves my point yet im a troll ? how am i ?
