The front page of the BBC right now, at the very top, is a large photo of protests in Iran. The headline reports that hospitals are overwhelmed by the regime cracking down on protestors.

The article focuses on first-hand accounts from medics inside Iran, describing the crackdown and casualties. It also contains statements from the Iranian opposition, the UN, US and French presidents and British PM, all critical of Khamenei, with just two mentions of the regime’s official statements.

Also, I just switched to the BBC News TV broadcast. The Iran protests are the lead story: a special report with a focus on the protestors, showing videos shared by them.

From YOUR article:

> Government building on fire as protests continue in Karaj, Iran

Peaceful “protestors” dont burn down whole office buildings my guy

> Members of the security forces have also been killed, with one human rights group putting the number at 14.

Peaceful “protestors” dont kill 14 cops.

The Iranian response is not random killing of innocent “protesters”. They are fighting back against open terrorists who are shooting at cops and burning down buildings. You can support or oppose Iran’s policies but if people were doing this in Washington DC the US government would be stacking the bodies of “protestors” just as high.
