Execution, intimidation and logic in maintaining the system in the Islamic Republic of Iran Di Bahami - from the revolutionary courts and the killing of political prisoners in the 1360s to the execution of protesters of the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement and the protests of 1404, the Islamic Republic used two languages to justify the elimination of the opposition: justice and national security. In this mechanism, the protester can become a "combatant" or "enemy agent" and the death penalty becomes a tool to intimidate society. But this policy has a price beyond the crisis of political legitimacy: eroding the credibility of religion and changing the meaning of religious symbols in the consciousness of a part of society.
