A US-based rights group said Friday, January 23, it has confirmed the deaths of more than 5,000 people during protests that swept Iran, and that the vast majority were protesters targeted by security forces.
NGOs tracking the toll from the crackdown on the biggest protests in Iran in years have said their task has been impeded by the now two-week internet shutdown, warning that confirmed figures are likely to be far lower than the actual toll.
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said it had confirmed that 5,002 people had been killed, including 4,714 protesters, 42 minors, 207 members of the security forces and 39 bystanders. The group added it was still investigating another 9,787 possible fatalities. At least 26,852 people have been arrested, it said.
Neat, a Lebanese news site, quoting a Russian state-owned news article, which is in turn quoting some random, unnamed source in the Iranian regime.
Great reporting. Totally not propaganda.
If you think US media like CBS is doing anything other than running a psyops campaign to manufacture consent for regime change you need to update your definition of propaganda.
What does CBS have to do with it? That’s a right-wing rag.
But it’s kind of a strawman to bring that up, because the article is from Le Monde and quotes a human rights NGO’s figures…
That human right group funded by the CIA? Yeah, no, wonderful source with an astounding track record, especially in Iran.
Can’t trust mainstream American news because they’re right wing
Can’t trust foreign news services because they are all psyops campaigns intended to trick Americans
Who the hell are you allowed to trust? TikTok influencers and indie podcasters?
All you need to know is that israel controls the US government through its lobby network, Christian Zionist lunatics and Jewish oligarchs and it has a hard on for regime change in Iran.
Idk, the TV told me this is antisemitic to think about
Depends, are those tiktok influencers wearing keffiyehs?
Leave it to tankies to turn the Iranian regime’s atrocities into another reason to blame Israel…
