"The majority in favor of the penalty was considerable, 227 out of the 290 total members, matching the number of lawmakers who signed the letter."
Sounds like the Iranian people need to show the world what January 6 would have looked like if it had been a real uprising.

| quote | A false claim that Iran plans to execute thousands of people has gone viral in the wake of the first death sentence for a protester tied to the demonstrations against the country’s clerical rulers over women’s rights.
An image that has circulated widely on social media falsely says 15,000 protesters have been sentenced to death. That claim is not true, but it has been amplified by major public figures, including the actors Viola Davis and Sophie Turner and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Representatives for Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Representatives for Turner declined to comment.
The claim gained the most attention on Instagram, where a viral infographic claiming “Iran Sentences 15,000 protesters to death — as a ‘hard lesson’ for all rebels” was viewed more than a million times after celebrities like Davis and Turner shared it on their verified accounts Monday. The post no longer appears on Davis’ account, but it was still up on Turner’s on Tuesday afternoon.
There has been no evidence that 15,000 protesters have been sentenced to death. Two protesters had been sentenced to death as of Tuesday, although they can appeal, according to state news agencies.
Instagram has applied a “False Information” warning on Turner’s post, noting: “The same information was reviewed by independent fact-checkers in another post.”
On Twitter, however, the false claim continued to spread Tuesday without any warning about its inaccuracy.
Trudeau tweeted Monday evening: “Canada denounces the Iranian regime’s barbaric decision to impose the death penalty on nearly 15,000 protestors. These brave Iranians were fighting for their human rights — and we continue to stand united in support of them, and united against the regime’s heinous actions.” The post remained up for over 11 hours and was shared thousands of times before it was deleted.
Trudeau’s office said in a statement: “The post was informed by initial reporting that was incomplete and lacked necessary context. Because of that, it has since been deleted.”
Other users have also posted content that remains on Twitter sharing the false information with no appended notes about its inaccuracy. . . . |

I certainly wouldn't put it past them... I personally think the Ayatollah is gay... so it wouldn't surprise me if he said he wanted to kill 15,000 young attractive women.

There was no such vote in the Iranian parliament. It was an open letter that the majority of the members of the Iranian parliament signed on to, that called for "swift and harsh punishment" of the protesters... not "execution" of the protesters.
I didn't come here to put anything on Jake. If Jake was misled by an erroneous Newsweek report, that's on Newsweek, not Jake. This is from that same CNN article that I just posted:
| quote | Two weeks ago, IRNA, Iran’s state-run news agency, reported that 227 members of Iran’s 290-seat Parliament had signed an open letter to the country’s judiciary seeking swift and harsh punishment of detained protesters. NBC News has not seen the letter.
The state-run news agency said the letter did not suggest a method of punishment. It read, “We, the representatives of this nation, ask all state officials, including the Judiciary, to treat those, who waged war [against the Islamic establishment] and attacked people’s life and property like the Daesh [terrorists], in a way that would serve as a good lesson in the shortest possible time.”
IRNA also reported that some members of Iran’s Parliament chanted “Death to America,” “Death to the hypocrite” and “Death to the seditionist” after the statement was read out loud.
In a report Nov. 8 citing CNN’s reporting on the open letter, Newsweek erroneously wrote that “Iran Votes to Execute Protesters,” without citing any additional reporting to support the claim.
On Nov. 8, Newsweek issued a correction, writing, “This article and headline were updated to remove the reference to the Iranian Parliament voting for death sentences. A majority of the parliament supported a letter to the judiciary calling for harsh punishments of protesters, which could include the death penalty.” |

Ok so a letter, were you there in the Parliament? Do you know what they are or are not voting for?
In a country that will let a family member kill another family member for the smallest of "indiscretion" is its so much of a stretch.
A letter supported by 227 of the 290 members of the Iranian Parliament urged that the protesters be given harsh punishment.
Just go find some other thread to post in.
