The mothers of Loghman Moradi and Zanyar Moradi, two Kurdish men from the city of Mariwan in Iranian Kurdistan plead with Iranian judicial authorities and the people of their city to save their sons from imminent execution.

In two separate video clips the Moradi mothers say their sons are innocent and have committed no crime. The mother of Loghman Moradi beseeches the main preacher of Mariwan to pardon their sons.

Loghman and Zanyar Moradi, two cousins—were arrested by the Iranian police in 2009 and charged with the assassination of the son of the preacher of Mariwan in 1988.

Zanyar Moradi’s mother says in her video recording, “They took Zanyar on Wednesday to the army prison. They said they would take them for some questioning but they told them that they will be hanged on Saturday.”

This is how iranian drug dealers and mullahs ruin people lives. Executing and raping peoples chlidren in name of religion and politics. While western powers are fighting election wars and UN votes, mullahs get free hands to destroy the planet with their evil manipulations and ideologies.

If the Peshmerga were half as brave as they claim to be, they would be fighting Turkey alongside the PKK instead of standing around and "condemning"...
