I'm not trivializing his life! I don't deny the fact that he's going to be killed over a stupid thing, and that the Iran regime should be ashamed for that. I sincerely hope this could be stopped somehow.
But still, there is a media campaign against Iran which I think no one can deny, and the fact that this story surfaces now, well, makes me think. That's all.
I have to (partially) agree with you. Iran executes people for the most B.S. of reasons all the time, and we rarely hear about it, and we certainly don't get as much of it as we've been getting of this guy.
That's not to say that this guy isn't actually facing a death sentence, or that his life is somehow worth less because [[typical convoluted reasoning to support such statements]]. But these stories (and similar others) may be more interesting as an indicator of relations between the west and Iran than of the internals of Iranian politics.
