3:40Now PlayingBefore the US’ military intervention in Iran, raucous protests erupted across the Islamic Republic in January as traders, shopkeepers, and students all joined together in heated rallies to challenge the Iranian regime’s leaders.
Even after US military operations toppled the country’s leader, killed off several high-ranking officials, and pummeled Iranian military targets, the country is still seeking revenge against protestors and those who helped them.
According to reports from Iran’s State media, the Islamic Republic ruthlessly executed a pair of young men on July 19 for helping terrified protesters flee during the January uprising.
According to Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American journalist and activist, 18-year-old Erfan Esfandiari and 23-year-old Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, were hanged for simply opening their doors to demonstrators who were fleeing government bullets.
