The Coordinating Council of Teachers’ Associations’ demand is the end of oppression and plundering.
In response to the execution of Mohsen Shekari, the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ Associations warned in a statement that the authorities should take a new path by releasing all protesters and critics of the current situation and revoking the judicial rulings against the protesters before it is too late.
Even if Mohsen Shekari’s crime had been proven, he should have been sentenced to a level six imprisonment, which could have ultimately resulted in three months to a year in prison. Unfortunately, without prior notice, they suddenly ended the life of this 23-year-old by setting up a gallows on December 8.
Mohsen Shekari and other victims of the people’s revolutionary uprising are casualties of managerial corruption, inefficiency, embezzlement, and the plundering by the government.
Using executions to end nationwide protests is a false notion.
Iranian rulers deliberately insist not only on shooting protesters in the streets but are more insistent on disabling the weapon of law and issuing rulings that conflict with the most basic principles of legal procedure to create intimidation.
The legitimate demand of Iranians is the end of oppression and plundering and the restoration of justice and freedom.
Reviving the outdated methods of the 1980s and the 1988 massacre will accelerate further protests and dissatisfaction.
