Iran Resorts to Public Executions in Effort to Silence Protestors | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The country of Iran is now resorting to public executions in efforts to crush unrest and silence protestors. The Associated Press reports a prisoner was publicly hung from a construction crane last week. The man was a protestor accused of killing two members of Iran's Paramilitary force last month. Protests initially erupted in Iran earlier this fall after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. She was captured and killed by the country's morality police for 'improperly' wearing her hijab. Clare Lopez, Founder and President of Lopez Liberty, joins us to discuss the increase of executions being seen, a report suggesting female protestors are being raped in detention centers, and what she expects to happen in the coming months, especially as more high-profile names express their solidarity.
