Ali Reza Akbari was previously Iran's Deputy Defense Minister.


On Sunday, British newspapers called for the execution of a former Iranian official, Ali Reza Akbari, also a British citizen, accused of spying for Britain because he wrote about it in editorials and opinion pages. Analytical newspapers also highlight the restrictions imposed on women by the Taliban in Afghanistan.


We start with The Independent with the headline "Ali Reza Akbari's execution is a sign of Iran government's weakness". The release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anusha Ashuri in March last year could be due to improved relations between the British and Iranian governments, or the Khamenei government's improved stance on human rights, the newspaper said. It was broken by hanging Ali Razor.


The paper believed that Ali Raja had been hanged.


The newspaper believes Akbari, Iran's former deputy defense minister, was executed to bolster the government's propaganda that the protests in Iran were funded by foreign powers.


In this context, the newspaper wrote, his execution is a sign of weakness rather than strength of the government, which it believes does not want people to believe that they have the right to demand and receive their rights, especially from Iran. Women have the right to be treated equally with men.


The newspaper wrote that while sympathy for Akbari's family is not enough to prompt Iran's rulers to respond, the problem is how to respond to the crimes of a regime that believes itself not bound by international standards.


According to the newspaper, there is no easy solution, as dialogue can work in some cases, but sometimes leads to economic and political sanctions.


Akbari's execution could reignite debate over whether the British government should designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, the newspaper said.


Akbari's execution was also discussed in an analysis titled "Fate of Ali Reza Akbari, Iran's Proof of Militant Ruthlessness" by Patrick Wintour, diplomatic editor of Mubasher.


The author says that Akbari told his family that I have to go, I am a soldier and it is my duty, which led them to believe that he asked his former master Ali Shamkhani to come back, why do you think? Need to answer? In 2019, it will make recommendations to Tehran on how the country should respond to the decision. Donald Trump is destined to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.


A year ago, in the summer of 2018, Akbari attended a conference in Iran, where he was invited by the Iranian government to discuss the future of nuclear energy and agreements and relations with the West, the author said.


During Akbari's second visit in 2019, he was received differently, and he quickly learned he was the victim of an intelligence operation, triggering a series of interrogations, the author said.


The author asked if Iranian intelligence really believed he was a British spy. He believes that based on 60 years of experience, some members of the Iranian government have a grudge against the UK and may harbor a grudge against any former member of the government who has lived abroad with his family in exile. Can be deeply suspicious. A country considered as a strong opponent of Islamic revolution.


The author believes that Akbari's fate is a clear signal to everyone in the ongoing relationship with the West that some will see him as a traitor to the country.


We turn to the opinion page of the Sunday Times and an article by a young Afghan woman named Mahshid Barj is titled "We have no problem with men, so why do we have a problem with the Taliban?"


These days were so difficult for him, the author says, that he almost lost his mind.


Like many Afghan girls and women, she said she is stuck at home. She added that she is proud to be a girl but wants to be a boy. He said that as long as the Internet was available, he would watch "Emily in Paris" and wonder how he and the heroine could be on the same planet.


He said it wasn't like that before. Eighteen months ago, he lived happily and got up in the morning to study psychology at Kabul University. Then I went to a TV station and did a program on news and politics. She goes to the gym, plays sports and is part of the women's national handball team.


Sometimes he meets friends at coffee shops or goes for a walk.
