Satire is really humor telling the truth. Truth makes people uncomfortable, especially when it's an ugly truth. Should the Satirist die for pointing out said truth? No.

Journalists, the good ones, are being muzzled, jailed, beheaded and shot. The others are selling propaganda and obfuscations. Without our satirists most wouldn't even have a clue as to what the truth is. Satire keeps journalism honest. (INMO)

Then there is also this to think about, creative types, satirists, philosophers, writers, and scientists have all been persecuted through the ages. The number one cause... religion.
