1)
I can't describe how utterly disgusting & repulsive it is to see @KenRoth of the so-called "Human Rights Watch" (@hrw) rush to the support of @JZarif, the man representing a regime that leads the world in executions per capita, and who recently defended the execution of gays.

2)
Roth is citing a New York Times piece written by @farnazfassihi, a known Iranian regime apologist/lobbyist.

This thread debunks that NYT piece.

As a reminder for Roth & the "Human Rights Watch," the regime in Iran has executed over 3,600 people in the past six years alone, under the watch of the "moderate" Hassan Rouhani.
Rouhani & Zarif are pawns of Iran's dictator Ali Khamenei.

4)
Another reminder to Roth about Zarif:
He has very close relations with Iran's murderous Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani, Hezbollah & the ruthless Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

5)
“The only country in the world that used the organs of executed prisoners in this way was China, which banned the practice in 2015,…”

Any thoughts, @KenRoth?

Another question for @KenRoth.

What are your thoughts about @JZarif paying his respects & honoring a slain Hezbollah terrorist?
