after going just a day after the presidency of the EU sent a communiqué condemning the execution of Delara Darabi. The government of Iran has responded with the news Wednesday that the May 6 and Amir Khaleghi Safar Angooti, the two old Merores be executed. I wonder what will make the EU and the UN Will photocopy of the same release, but with the name of them as always condemning his execution? Stop or look the other way, and beginning to punish Iran for what you are doing. If these guys are putting the rope around their necks is not responsible for the government of Iran, but the rest of country by consent
