Majid Kavousifar, 28, a convicted murderer of Hassan Moghaddas, a hardline deputy prosecutor and head of the "guidance" court in Tehran, waves before he is publicly hanged in central Tehran, Iran, a few years ago
A couple of weeks ago, the Iranian government came up with a new tactic against the current revolution in Iran .They hanged two young men based on irrational evidence, processed in revolutionary courts in one month in Tehran.
They had tried many psychological warfare methods for three month to no avail. However, this event caused a hiccup and for about two weeks there was a reduction in demonstrations. I imagine the image of a rope on your neck and being hanged was real scary.
However, the population digested this event and came back to the streets in different cities in force.
It looks like it is time for the Iranian government to understand that if they do not want to be hanged in public, they need to find a way out of the predicament they are in. Use of brute force, and stupid lectures of Ayatollah Khamenei simply do not work. People have lost their fear of death, their population is continuously increasing, while the forces of government are getting smaller and more divided at all levels.
