Mohsen Shekari

Mohsen Shekari

English

Mohsen Shekari was 23 years old. He was hung.

Iranian martyr, 2023

In Iran, “moharebeh” (waging war against God), is a capital offense. Today, a young man was executed, hung, for “Moharebeh,” waging war against God.
Specifically he assisted in blocking a street in his city, and allegedly may have “injured” a security guard. At most, this sounds to me like well, what it is: protesting a brutal regime and possibly, and I must underscore that as the regime is famous for lying, hurting one security guard, evidently not enough to even require explaining how seriously. Had he put the person in the hospital, it would have been “savagely attacking” a security guard or worse…”trying to kill a security guard.”
