Breaking Video: People free two men from execution in Zanjan

T he following amazing video has surfaced showing a crowd of observers of a regime organized execution freeing the prisoners, who are already hanging. You can see them storming a truck while the sound of gunfire is heard, and the cutting the prisoners loose. Apparently the prisoners escaped but were picked up and executed later.
