Depending on how one reads the tea leaves, Iranian authorities are either running scared or are getting angry over the ongoing—and escalating—protests over the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, who was detained for wearing her hijab “improperly”.
I just read an article on NBC's website that basically defends the regime in Iran. It says that a coroner's report shows that she did not die from the physical beating that witnesses say she took from the Morality Police. Sad state of affairs when an American newspaper shills for an Autocratic religious fanatical Theocracy.
That is what makes the NBC report so reprehensible. Their headline reads that she did not die from the beatings. They take the side of the evil fascists. It is appalling.
Wow. We should be so very, very grateful that we do not live in such a society. This insanity sounds like a movie that I would judge to be unrealistic, yet here we are, witnessing these atrocities. Truly evil.
It should also serve as a reminder to our Democratic Party that maybe the Christian Right is not so very terrible after all.....
It should also serve as a reminder to the Christian Right that the Democratic Party comes pretty damn close in the terrible department (with the Establishmentarian Republicans running very close behind).
Yep. The trend toward moral grandstanding and pseudo righteous indignation justifying authoritarian leanings is alarming in this country.....on both sides of the aisle....

What's sickening is that no one seems to be denying that she was in fact beaten while in police custody. For not having her hijab on PROPERLY.
Such mistreatment is, I do believe, explicitly against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which Iran is a signatory.

I wish I could say I was surprised.
Sadly, I'm not.
