Listening to your testimony today, compared to your last visit here, you've talked about amputation, stoning, and even crucifixion. You spoke about the high execution rates of both youth and adults.
Some of those things you have spoken about before, but I'm getting kind of a mixed signal. On the one hand you speak about the green movement growing; on the other hand we hear what sounds like further and greater repression and suppression of the people of Iran.
Compared to the last time you sat before us, I tend to read optimism--it's my nature--and hopefully you're more optimistic, even though things sound graver.
