You Are Spreading Fake News About Iran, They Are Not About To Execute 15,000 Imprisoned Protestors.

You are spreading fake news about Iran, they are not about to execute 15,000 imprisoned protestors.

https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/world-verify/iran-15000-protesters-not-sentenced-to-death-fact-check/536-9b21be3b-62aa-4793-91c7-799872cbdef7

Thank you for the link. Since posting the viral post I have been made aware that the passage of the statement calling for harsher penalties is not the same thing as passing an actual sentence, even in a country like Iran, which I have already acknowledged numerous times. I will likely continue to be told this over and over again ad nauseum despite immediately having posted on the same night an update where I found out that the protesters had not actually been formally sentenced and the decree was not a judicial sentencing.

So the Newsweek headline is wrong/misleading, was reported in error, etc. You could try bringing that to the attention of the article publisher, MSN.

However, even the very article that you’ve linked me, while correctly denying that the protesters have been sentenced, admits that,

“However, human rights groups warn that future sentences could be handed down without warning or due process.”

and

The same group of experts, in an open letter, said that even without sentences yet, the sheer number of people being charged with crimes that could eventually carry the death penalty is concerning.

As far as anyone can tell at this point, the declaration from their legislature to the courts is a call for large numbers of executions. Iran’s penalties tend to already be very harsh, and so this sort of statement for harsher penalties while invoking Islamic judicial concepts like “enemies of God” is very concerning.

So, while they have not been sentenced, the protesters are not out of the woods by any means and concern for them is warranted. I have learned the headline is misleading but what I really don’t want people to get out of this is “oh- never mind, totally fake, Iran would never do something like that, I can forget about/ignore it”. The reporting jumped the gun, but this is not coming from nowhere.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1 Peter 1:1‭-‬25 KJV
