#BREAKING
According to his brother, political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi has been executed.

My deepest condolences to his family and Iranians across the globe.
To get an understanding of #Iran's ruthless regime:

The IRGC launched a missile barrage against a Kurdish group based in Iraq in an attempt to divert attention away from the execution of political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi.

Raise your voice & condemn the mullahs regime.
#BREAKING
Reports indicate #Iran's regime has also executed Kurdish political prisoners Zaniar & Loghman Moradi alongside #RaminHosseinPanahi.
Let's see if the likes of @NIACouncil, @tparsi, @hmajd or @jabdi have the guts to condemn #Iran's regime for today's repulsive executions.
This is #RaminHosseinPanahi's niece.

Who's going to break it to her that her uncle was executed early this morning by #Iran's ruthless regime?
Amjad Hossein Panahi, the brother of recently executed political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi, says #Iran's authorities are refusing to hand over Ramin's body to the family for a proper funeral.

The mullahs are literally torturing this poor family.
#Iran's Intelligence Ministry has threatened to arrest family members of executed political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi.

Furthermore, without turning over the body to his family, authorities have buried Ramin in an undisclosed location.
I asked @hmajd if he had the guts to condemn #Iran's regime for the execution of three Kurdish political prisoners today?

This is how he responded.

(I rest my case.)

Graffiti reads:
"Kill us. It's not important. Ideas are bullet proof"

This comes one day after the Iranian regime executed three Kurdish political prisoners.

The ruling mullahs' days are numbered.
"And, I, know you're shining down on me from heaven..."

A beautiful image from inside prison of #ZaniarMoradi & #LoghmanMoradi, posted on Instagram by political prisoner Jafar Eghdami, who has been released recently after spending 10 years behind bars.

Their smiles...
Another beautiful video of #ZaniarMoradi.

He lives forever in our hearts & expects us to continue this struggle for a better tomorrow in #Iran without the mullahs.

Mark my words: This nation will be free. Soon.

Thank you to all of Iran's true friends across the globe.
I'm told this edited video shows Iranians in Germany, outraged after the execution of three Kurdish political prisoners, attacking & protesting outside #Iran's embassy in Berlin.
“The trials of all three men were grossly unfair. All were denied access to their lawyers and families after their arrest, and all said they were tortured into making 'confessions.'"

Sep 9 - Qaruchai village near Sanandaj, western #Iran
A ceremony held for Kurdish activist #RaminHosseinPanahi, executed Saturday morning, despite threats made by the Iranian regime's security forces.
Sep 9 - Tehran, #Iran
The mother of #RaminHosseinPanahi, recently executed by the Iranian regime, was allowed to see his body at a cemetery.
Her request to have Ramin buried in their hometown was denied by the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry.
As if she hasn't suffered enough...
"I deeply deplore the executions last week of 3 #Iran'ian Kurdish prisoners, despite the serious concerns raised by Special Procedures mandate holders that they were not afforded fair trials, and were subjected to torture."

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet

U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted the resignation of Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador.

My gut tells me an even bigger story will develop.

Add this to the long list linking #Iran's regime with international terrorism.

This time, the al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab militant group of Somalia.

More reason why a firm policy is needed against Tehran.

"Criminal networks are using Iran as a transit point for illicit Somali charcoal exports that earn Islamist militants al Shabaab millions of dollars annually in tax, U.N. sanctions monitors said in a report seen by Reuters."
3)
"... domestic revenue generation by al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab 'is more geographically diversified and systematic' than that of Somalia’s federal government."

#Iran's #FakeNews machine at work:

"It did not say where Zahedifar was arrested. In a video carried by state broadcaster IRIB, a blindfolded man who identified himself as Zahedifar denied he had fled Iran."
