The Tyrants Don't Lose Sleep

The article refers to the visit of Mostafa Pourmohammadi, a former Iranian Minister of Justice, to Cyprus in 2014 and the signing of an extradition agreement. The author emphasizes that Pourmohammadi is one of the main perpetrators of human rights violations in Iran, including the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988. Pourmohammadi is accused of playing a central role in the execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988, an act that was characterized as a “crime against humanity” by international organizations. Amnesty International denounces the secret and extrajudicial killings of political dissidents by Iranian authorities and their refusal to disclose information about the dead and burial sites. Pourmohammadi himself has stated that he is “proud” to have carried out God’s command regarding the People's Mujahedin of Iran and that he has not lost sleep over his actions. The author compares Pourmohammadi’s indifference to that of other dictators such as Hitler and Stalin, who ordered the slaughter of millions of people without showing remorse. The article condemns human rights violations in Iran and highlights the impunity of those responsible, emphasizing that tyrants do not feel remorse for their atrocities.
