omg, can't believe they're threatening death penalty over peaceful protests

this is just so worrying... i mean, Iran has a history of protests but it's crazy how things have escalated now. think the government is scared of losing control and trying to intimidate people into shutting up. it's not right, protests are an important part of democracy and freedom
i've been reading about other countries where governments have used similar tactics to silence dissenting voices... it's like a pattern or something

china's Tiananmen Square massacre comes to mind, but that was 1989 and i hope we don't see something similar here. the protesters in Iran deserve our support and solidarity
anyway, let's not forget about the reasons behind these protests... economic turmoil is a major issue and it's crazy how things have gotten so out of hand

the government needs to listen to the people and address their concerns rather than trying to silence them. fingers crossed that this situation gets resolved peacefully
