Written

This is needs a total rewrite. To many "it is said". Very POV "and there henchmen" I could nearly hear the dum dum dum!!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.42.14.77 (talk) 12:22, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agree. It is very poor, yet appeared on the front page on 7 July 2015. Seriously? Is this supposed to represent the best that Wikipedia has to offer? 195.89.37.174 (talk) 08:06, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blindfold

Serious POV issues here. For example, the article states

It's said that he refused the blindfold offered to him, requesting to face death fearlessly.

Yet the one of the two sources cited (Daily News) says

Pedris who had been strapped onto a chair and was blindfolded. Pedris offered his own handkerchief to blindfold him.
