It is hard to know how the Islamic Penal Code really works because the government does not give statistics as to who is arrested, tried and executed and for what reasons. It is almost impossible for the families of the victims to get full and unfettered access to court transcripts. There is no habeas corpus in Iran, nor is there due process in the Western sense. Arrested by the authorities, you can be interrogated and tortured before facing a judge who is, as the expression goes, also the jury and executioner.

In Iran, trials are often short and carried out in secret. When a family finds out that a member is charged with a crime and they manage to hire a lawyer, the lawyers are often harassed and sometimes arrested themselves, on trumped-up charges such as being agents of European or North American human rights organizations — a way to punish the human rights organizations who track the daily, monthly and yearly war of the Islamic Republic against it children.

 

According to the Islamic Shariah of the state of Iran if a man or woman is convicted of fornication four times, he or she can be executed (sounds like sex outside of marriage or before marriage). Fornication by a non-Muslim with a Muslim woman can warrant execution. Anal sex among adult males (over the age of 15) is justification for execution. Lesbians are condemned to death after they are caught four times. Possession of obscene audio-visual materials can be punished by death. When you are caught drinking alcohol for the third time, you can be executed. Theft is punished by death on the fourth count. Before that, there are amputations. If you are born a Muslim and convert to another religion, this is considered apostasy and can be punished by death. Killing of a non-Muslim by a Muslim does not automatically carry the death penalty.

 

Victims are often roughed up and tortured before being brought out to hang

 

In the democratic West, we think of murder as a fundamental violation of the social contract that guarantees our national safety and the safety of our loved ones. In Iran, murder is considered largely a private matter between families. If a man murders someone and is then arrested and tried, and even condemned to death, then the family of the deceased can receive blood money for the family member they have lost, and the murderer may go free.

 

Methods of execution in Iran are cruel. Hangings are often carried out in public in crowded places and act as both entertainment and threat. Victims are often roughed up and tortured before being brought out to hang. These hangings are often less than efficient, and death often only comes from asphyxiation after 10-20 minutes of humiliating agony. Exiled Iranian human rights activists such as Toronto-based Maryam Nayeb Yazdi have pointed out that stoning is still a viable legal threat in Iran, for both men and women, and that executions in general are rising.

 

Iran is an imperial, colonial state where the Persian-speaking demographic majority uses its state legal mechanisms to terrorize its occupied peoples. While it has always accused the West of imperialism and colonialism, it still occupies much of Turkish-speaking southern Azerbaijan. It has suppressed its own Kurdish minority who long for autonomy and independence as promised to them by the international community in the 1920s, and as a Shia majority state, it persecutes both Arab and Turkish Sunni Muslims living within its borders.
