Iran regime deserves no defense

The regime in Tehran is preparing to execute a woman for taking part in the recent antigovernment protests. That fact alone should strip away every illusion, every excuse and every dishonest slogan used to sanitize the Iranian regime. A government that answers protests with execution is not misunderstood, it is brutal. It is not complicated, it is cruel. And it is not acting out of strength, it is acting out of fear. Bita Hemmati is not facing death because the regime believes in justice. She is facing death because the regime fears the truth. It fears women who refuse to bow.
