#2 Salas is a member of the Gonabadi Dervish group, who apparently aren't used to whirling in public.

Salas reportedly drove the bus that ran over the officers, as they tried to contain the protests in the Pasdaran district of Tehran.

Witnesses apparently said that someone else was behind the wheel of the bus, including, oddly enough, Michael Brown's friend, who happened to be in the neighborhood at the time.

...For centuries, however, Iran has allowed other major religions - such as Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism - to exist in the country. Up until recently, of course, when they've all been killed.

#3 In a statement on Monday, ~~Amnesia~~ Amnesty International said it was "shocked and saddened" at the news of Salas' execution.

Then they adjourned for cocktails and a 7 course meal. After which, they said "Salas who?"
