"We're following news that Iran has executed three men, including a 19-year-old wrestler in connection with nationwide protests that took place in January. Human rights groups described their trials as shams, and the hangings are thought to be the first carried out in public by Iran in relation to the protests."
"I do think that the president has to do something about this especially since it's so public. I mean, we think that the Iranian regime may have killed up to 50,000 people during those protests. People are simply asking for regime change, people simply asking for freedom."
"It's just so so sad that someone who simply protests a little bit gets executed in a public hanging by the Iranian regime. It's just awful."
Iran executed three men, including 19-year-old Olympic wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, for their involvement in protests against the regime. Human rights groups condemned the trials as unfair, and these executions are believed to be the first public hangings linked to the protests. Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez emphasized the need for President Trump to take action against Iran, citing the regime's violent response to calls for freedom. The executions highlight the dangers faced by those protesting for regime change in Iran.
