He was an evil bastard who was second in command of a regime full of human rights abuse that meddles in and disrupts the entire region on a scale that previously required associating with a British monarch. To the point that there is a lot of footage of the people of Iran cheering in the streets.

Fuck 'em.

Are you talking about America? Because in every single instance Iran has been the stabilizing force, providing arms and training to local militias in order to defend themselves against America-backed threats including ISIS, the Saudis, and the IOF.

Just because one evil prick is still alive doesn't mean we can't cheer that a different evil prick died.

Decided to glance into your comment history and phew, you are one angry little individual.

BUT maybe you have your reasons, many of us do. However, it's important to be angry for the right reasons, at the right people.

Alright, I'll bite.

How are people misinterpreting the Khamenei regime's human rights issues (particularly against women)? And by "people" I, of course, mean orgs like Amnesty International.

Following the pro-Shah coup d'état that overthrew the Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, the Shah again cracked down on his opponents, and political freedom waned. He outlawed Mosaddegh's political group the National Front, and arrested most of its leaders.[13] Over 4000 political activists of the Tudeh party were arrested,[14] (including 477 in the armed forces), forty were executed, another 14 died under torture and over 200 were sentenced to life imprisonment.[13][15][16]

During the height of its power, the shah's secret police SAVAK had virtually unlimited powers. The agency closely collaborated with the CIA.[17]

According to Amnesty International's Annual Report for 1974–1975 "the total number of political prisoners has been reported at times throughout the year [1975] to be anything from 25,000 to 100,000."[18]

Wow, that is super fucked up. I hope somebody overthrows the Shah.

Wanna ask Mahsa Amini about that? Oh, you can't because she got killed for not covering her hair?

Brutal, isn't it?

God forbid a woman shows their hair, am I right?
