Iranian regime executing elite wrestlers who back protestors

Elite wrestlers and bodybuilders are being targeted for death in Iran as they condemn the atrocities of the nation’s regime. 

As protests intensified across Iran earlier this month, Olympic wrestler Alireza Nejati posted a message to his more than 78,000 Instagram followers that resulted in his violent arrest, torture and imprisonment two days later, The Post has learned.

“I wish everyone a beautiful weekend full of success and good vibes,” the 27-year-old Greco-Roman wrestling champion posted to an Instagram Story on Jan. 7. “This is the end.”
