Hamid Nouri, known as the “death judge” of the Islamic Republic regime, is one of the notorious figures of this system, having played a key role in the widespread suppression and execution of opponents and critics over past decades.

Arrested and imprisoned outside Iran due to his crimes, he has not refrained from implicitly threatening the lives of people, particularly Iranian refugees living abroad, even under these circumstances. These threats, expressed in a completely direct and overt manner, reveal the depth of hatred and violence that continues to be entrenched in this individual and, more broadly, in the ideological framework of the Islamic Republic regime.
His imprisonment in Sweden, which many hoped would at least serve as a deterrent and compel him to reconsider his behavior and stance, has not only failed to alter his brazen and reckless approach but seems to have made him even more resolute in his position. This bitter reality serves as a serious alarm for the international community, especially for countries that have, over the years, adopted policies of appeasement and leniency toward the leaders of the Islamic Republic. These policies, often implemented with the aim of reducing tensions or fostering gradual reforms in the regime’s behavior, have not yielded the desired outcomes; instead, they have bolstered the repressive spirit of individuals like Nouri.
Appeasement toward such individuals and the system that nurtured them has proven incapable of improving the human rights situation or reducing threats against the Iranian people, whether inside or outside the country. Nouri’s behavior in prison is a stark example of this failure: far from expressing remorse for his past actions, he continues his threats, demonstrating that this regime and its agents recognize no limits to their violence and intimidation. This situation increasingly underscores the urgent need for a reevaluation of international approaches to the Islamic Republic regime.
Iranian refugees, many of whom fled to other countries to escape repression and violence, now face these implicit threats, which evoke the same fear and insecurity they experienced in their homeland. This highlights that as long as individuals like Hamid Nouri and their supporters hold power or feel immune, security and peace for Iranians will remain elusive anywhere in the world. Consequently, the international community must act with greater resolve, employing more effective legal and political tools to curb these threats before the audacity of such executioners leads to further catastrophes.
