Ah, didn't you get the message that HRW is one of those racist, imperialist organizations?
What's the point of this? You think I don't know that the U.S. is one of the world's greatest state-sponsored killers? You think I don't know the U.S. jails more people than anyone else on earth? You think I don't care?
And WTF does capital punishment have to do with the article? It was about students who face jail for "publishing articles insulting to Islam in student publications." Oh, but I guess if they're "insulting" Islam, that makes them objectively pro-imperialist?
By the way, according to the racist imperialists at AI, Iran has executed 250 people so far this year. That's even more than Texas.
