Iran just hanged two intellectually-curious, open-minded young men for the 'crime' of having the intelligence to question the regime's all-pervasive brainwashing, and the bravery to express their doubts online to others. A despicable act straight out of the Middle Ages.

Iran's judiciary today announced the execution of Yousef Mehrdad and Sadrollah Fazeli Zare for "insulting" the Prophet Muhammad & Islamic sanctities. They were also accused of running "anti-religion" social media accounts. They were arrested 3 years ago & executed this morning.
