Execution, it is execution, whether you are guilty or innocent, the result of execution is the same. It is where the world becomes as small as the size of a four-legged animal for you. Your only refuge is the ground… under which they bury you, and death embraces you with open arms. It is unbelievable, the moment that passes and the next moment that never comes; bitter but true.
But in legal terms, execution refers to a type of punishment that includes the most severe penalties. This punishment is one of the measures prescribed in the laws of some countries, including Iran, where the life of a person is taken away by the order of the law and according to the ruling of a court – public, criminal, military, etc.
According to the report of the Center for Human Rights Documentation in Iran, in the year 2013, a total of 624 executions took place in Iran, 324 of which were announced by official sources and 290 were reported through unofficial sources

Watching death
In this film, the voices of some people who have gathered around the execution scene can be heard, sympathizing with the young man being executed. The young man, as mentioned, requests to see his mother one last time and bid her farewell. He screams out his request, saying that he will go to his mother with his hands and feet bound, but is beaten by the officers accompanying him for the execution. His last words are “Forgive me, mother.” The execution show ends with the applause and prayers of the spectators.

Seeing the image of a dead person (in general) is an unpleasant and disturbing sight, which is why many people turn away and cover their children’s eyes when they come across bodies on the street.

“Majid Mohammadi,” a professor of sociology living in the United States, has seen the film on social media and says, “I watched the film from beginning to end. It was difficult to watch, but as a professional, I had to see it. Anyone who follows Iranian issues closely should see these images.”

He believes that individuals can decide for themselves whether or not to watch this film based on their own understanding. It is their own decision and cannot be recommended.

The basic rights of an execution convict.
According to legal laws in Iran, a person sentenced to execution has the right to meet and say goodbye to their parents before the sentence is carried out. “N.M.”, an Iranian lawyer, says: “The regulations on the implementation of retribution, stoning, execution, hanging, and flogging describe the mechanism and method of implementing these punishments.

This lawyer also mentioned Article 8 of these regulations, saying: “Article 8 of these regulations refers to the fact that a person sentenced to execution can request to meet with their relatives before the sentence is carried out.

As mentioned at the beginning of the report, after the release of this video on social media, a debate began about whether to watch it or not.
One of the active journalists in Iran, in response to the question of whether he, as a media activist, has watched this film or not, said: “I have not seen this video and I must mention that watching executions in Iran, although it seems unconventional, has become a full-fledged subject of social recognition. To the extent that many sociologists and even cultural studies in Iran are examining the behavior of people who have brought themselves to the park of artists, the place of execution, to watch the execution. Among the countless executions in Iran, the last case that was circulated on social media also faced different reactions. Some groups published the video with the aim of mourning for the executed man.
