If you are American, we are also ruled by a regime that kills thousands of innocents in the name of whatever our president feels like


US prisoners per capita: 715

Iran prisoners per capita: 226

Particularly interesting to me is how prisoners in Iran have the right to vote while prisoners in the US can have their vote taken away.


Annual executions per capita, 2024 and 2025, excluding the Iranian protests:

USA: 1 in 12 million; 1 in 8.6 million

Iran: 1 in 97,000; 1 in 62,000


Good point but I don't understand how you're calculating those numbers. For example there were 1,639 people executed in 2025 for a population of 93.1 million


I was not trying to compare and contrast, that leads to whataboutism. Separate issues.
