Stop the spreading of fake news or low reliability news. This ([1]) has been making rounds of in all Media, and yet looking at the footage it does seem to not quite substantiated. It really makes you question whether the Western media cares about the truth about what happened or just beating drums...

And while the Iranian regime is bad, it's definitively not as bad as the Taliban one where [1] is a daily occurrence.

The propaganda of this barbaric Iranian regime is active everywhere, but the truth cannot be covered with words like the "Western Media", so try other things.

This is also not the first time that the child-killing and anti-women regime of Iran commits such crimes. About a year ago, Mehsa Amini was killed by police forces for the same crime of insufficient hijab. In the revolutionary demonstrations after that, about 500 more people were killed, among them Nika Shakarami [1] by the "impact of a hard object" and 9-year-old Kian Pirfalak [2] by the shootings by the security forces. Other examples of innocent people killed can be found in the links in these wikipedia pages.

The footage is edited and the key seconds are taken out. There were dozens of witnesses and what you are doing is called whataboutism.

The Nobel peace prize is not about who has the worst life. Women in Afghanistan have it - in general - worse than in Iran, I'm quite sure about that. That's not the criterium to get this prize.

This is whataboutism, nothing less, and your fake-news remark makes me wonder your motivation even more.
