A bombshell new report from CBS News suggests that the Iranian Government has murdered between 12,000 and 20,000 protesters since the ongoing, national revolt against it began.

“Information trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported,”

    I really, really hope the protesters succeed. Iran has such a glorious history and wonderful people - they deserve so much more. It could retake its place as the shining example of countries in the region, as it was for most of the last 5000 years.

      Do you know that saudi arabia beheads more protestors per capita than Iran? Do you know how many countries in the middleast that don’t even allow any protest or assembly or voting or any political participation? do you know there’s a country in a middleeast that is an actual genocidal settler colonial superamacist aparthied?

      Iranian people main suffering happens because of Western sanction because they oppose israel. If the US really gave a fuck about human rights, they should free Palestinians from their genocidal government that slaughtered 100000 of them this year alone. But no, they are aiding israel, and supporting every oppressive murderous absolute dictatorship government in the middleeast that support israel.

        Did you know that obesity kills more people than cancer? That’s why we need to stop caring about cancer completely. Someone you know has cancer? Fuck them, because did I mention obesity is worse? We should only think about one thing at a time, and I get to decide what that thing is. Absolutely NOTHING should be done about cancer until not a single human being is obese.

          both are bad but the reason they never fight cancer and in fact they’re funding, protecting and spreading cancer to other countries is because there a powerful lobby that bribes US government politicians to fund and protect cancer at any cost, and fight anyone who wants to stop cancer from spreading to other countries.

          Not only this, the people you’re talking about were protesting the sickness they got because of the sanctions thay the cancer spreading lobby made againt them, and even sent their spy agents to spread cancer there by shooting and killing and burning people and ambulances and buildings, and then made lies in the media to misguide the real dignosis and call to just bomb and kill everyone there and put in charge a cancer-loving monarch that works with them and would then exploit their resources to them and allow them to spread cancer to the rest of the world.

      It doesn’t happen to have anything to do with America overthrowing their government and the creation of Israel, does it?
