Two were hanged last week.Mr. Moussavi said the executions were aimed at “terrifying people” into submission. “The majority of people believed in the beginning of the revolution that the roots of dictatorship and despotism were abolished,” he said. “I was one of them, but now I don’t have the same beliefs.
