Programmer Sentenced To Death In Iran

[wobbegong]

Have we done this?

Fair-minded peace lovers at it again.

Sadly "Iran sentences someone to death under dubious circumstances" isn't really news.

Is MF currently working in Iran?

I wouldn't go 1000 miles of those Islamic State countries regardless of a sick relative being there or not.

This has nothing to do with them being Islamic, and everything to do with them being corrupt. If he HAD done what they accuse him of - setting up porn sites - THEN we could discuss how appropriate the death sentence is.

He wasn't even in Iranian jurisdiction when he allegedly setup those sites - the whole thing on the whole is totally barbaric there, such tulip did not even happen under Saddam Hussein, just another reason why Iraq should not have been attacked - sooner or later he would have fallen like that clown in Libya.

If he had not been disposed of "that clown in Libya" would still be in power

How is that relevant?
IF a country has strict moral laws then putting up a porn site IS very serious. Nothing wrong with that part... it's everything else which is messed up.

AtW, I would expect you to be in favour of death penalties considering your penchant for guns. No?

[AlfredJPruffock]

No state should have the power of awarding the Death Sentence - Iran nor the USA.

The UK did the right thing in abolishing the Death Sentence.

You see thats why we are refered to as Great Britain.

How is that relevant?

It's relevant because normally once someone is out of jurisdiction of a particular place (ie visiting other country) then things done there normally only covered by local laws.

No, I am not in favour of death penalties in general even though some scumbags commit such crimes for which they certainly deserve death.
