His father was so devoted to Iran’s revolution that he named his son after the regime's founder: Rouhollah. The son turned against the system & leaked the regime’s secrets on SM. He was lured to Iraq from Paris, kidnapped by the IRGC, & today, he was executed. #HumanRightsDay 
#RouhollahZam left behind two daughters. He did not have access to a fair trial & forced to confess on state TV, but even then, he defended ppl’s fight against a brutal regime that just in the past 2 years has killed 100s of protesters & dissidents. No accountability! No shame!
With each execution, the Islamic Republic sends a message to its opponents & the world that it can neither change nor tolerate dissent & that it does not fear bloodshed for its survival. This approach has increased the scope of resistance/dissatisfaction instead.

The Iranian regime’s addiction to violence & killings will not end with the execution of #NavidAfkari or #RouhollahZam. The IRGC will not stop killing protesters, like the 2019 massacre, until they fear accountability. So far, there is none! Shame on the @UN, @EU_Commission, etc.
Iran’s use of capital punishment to silence dissidents and spread fear among critics is alarming. #RouhollahZam was one critic. But millions are fed up with the repressive policies of the regime. Those who can pressure Iran to stop this trend & are silent about it are complicit.
#RouhollahZam’s father was the regime’s chief propagandist. For many years he ran the biggest org in charge of promoting the revolutionary ideology. If you can not sell your propaganda garbage to him, you can’t sell it to anyone. The regime responds to humiliation by execution.
