A Jew sentenced to death under Iranian Sharia Law.
Recently, the story of a Jewish Iranian man, Arvin Netanel, has been in the news around the world. Arvin is in his early 20s and has been sentenced to death for killing a Muslim man, Amir Shokri, in a brawl two years ago. Apparently, Arvin loaned money to Amir who refused to pay it back. When Arvin confronted him, Amir attacked him with a knife. In self-defense, Arvin killed Amir.
According to the Islamic law, if a non-Muslim kills a Muslim, Qisas, (retaliation) “an eye for an eye” can be applied. But if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, the law does not apply and there will be no death penalty. Iran’s judicial system is systemically corrupt and always favors Muslim men. It does not care about the lives of minorities, prioritizing the rights of Muslims over Jews, Christians, Baha’is, and other religious and ethnic minorities.
