Let's compare Joe's and 'its' tweets on Iran's cruel execution of Navid Afkari

@JoeBiden
Iran’s cruel execution of Navid Afkari is a travesty. No country should arrest, torture, or execute peaceful protestors or activists.

Iran must free its other political prisoners, including Nasrin Sotoudeh, and release unjustly detained Americans.

@ICHRI
We condemn in the strongest terms the unlawful execution of #NavidAfkari, which demonstrates the Iranian judiciary’s complete disregard for law, justice and international standards of due process. #نوید_افکاری https://iranhumanrights.org/2020/09/execution-of-navid-afkari-irans-judiciary-is-a-tool-of-political-repression-and-violence-and-a-threat-to-the-people/

Hearing that Iran is looking to execute a great and popular wrestling star, 27-year-old Navid Afkarai, whose sole act was an anti-government demonstration on the streets. They were protesting the “country’s worsening economic situation and inflation”...

...To the leaders of Iran, I would greatly appreciate if you would spare this young man’s life, and not execute him. Thank you! @UFC @DanaWhite @FoxNews

7. From the Biden-Harris Criminal Justice Plan:

https://joebiden.com/justice/#

"Eliminate the death penalty. Over 160 individuals who’ve been sentenced to death in this country since 1973 have later been exonerated. Because we cannot ensure we get death penalty cases right every time, Biden will work to pass legislation to eliminate the death penalty at the federal level, and incentivize states to follow the federal government’s example. These individuals should instead serve life sentences without probation or parole."
