President Donald Trump today joined the online chorus of Iranians warning the government against the imminent execution of three young men sentenced to death after participating in last year’s mass protests against rising gasoline prices.
“Three people have been sentenced to death in Iran for participating in protests,” Trump tweeted in Farsi under the “don’t execute” hashtag. “Their execution is expected at any moment. The execution of these three people sends a deplorable message to the world and should not be done.”
