The death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has sparked global debate and Dr. Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, is calling out what he describes as “shocking hypocrisy” online. Watch What Happened.
According to Naijaonpoint’s full coverage, Amadi slammed some leftist commentators for celebrating Khamenei’s death without considering the suffering of the Iranian people under his rule. He reminded followers that the leader reportedly killed over 40,000 of his own citizens, yet some applauded his death simply because it was carried out by the U.S. and Israel.
In a post on X, Amadi wrote:
He criticized the online reaction for ignoring decades of state violence and human rights abuses in Iran, noting the irony of activists who routinely condemn Western interventions but seem to celebrate foreign-led killings when it suits ideological narratives.
Amadi stressed that political bias should never override human empathy. Celebrating violent deaths, he warned, deepens divisions both locally and internationally, and reduces complex tragedies to partisan talking points.
The social media uproar shows how ideology can sometimes cloud moral judgment, he argued, urging people to put human life and suffering before political loyalties.
