@IranDisinfo @sepehrifar @hrw @JZarif Very interesting. So apparently the @StateDept's Global Engagement Center is running a disinformation campaign (sorry, "countering" disinformation) against, wait for it... human rights groups.
@IranDisinfo @sepehrifar @hrw @JZarif @StateDept First question--is this actually true? Can @statedeptspox spokesperson verify this and explain why the @StateDept is "engaging" in a propaganda campaign against Iranians who not only document HR abuses but also have faced a range of violations by autocratic Iranian government?
@IranDisinfo @sepehrifar @hrw @JZarif @StateDept @statedeptspox Second,@NegarMortazavi has an extensive rundown here of what should be a scandal in normal times, but there's one more point that needs to be made responding to this specific "disinformation" Twitter post
@IranDisinfo @sepehrifar @hrw @JZarif @StateDept @statedeptspox @NegarMortazavi Which is: Why is this potentially @StateDept-funded "disinformation" campaign be against research into violations of Iranians' right to health? The answer, of course, is that they don't care about Iranians' rights except to instrumentalize them as a propaganda outlet would
@IranDisinfo @sepehrifar @hrw @JZarif @StateDept @statedeptspox @NegarMortazavi Lastly, interesting this is gaining attention as the pro-government media of a US ally, #Egypt, is in the midst of its own slander campaign post- @hrw's report on army & ISIS abuses in #Sinai. I guess #US is joining the club of attacking rights activists. hrw.org/news/2019/05/3…
@IranDisinfo @sepehrifar @hrw @JZarif @StateDept @statedeptspox @NegarMortazavi UPDATE: @nahaltoosi gets @StateDept to confirm the US does fund @IranDisinfo. Next questions are 1) who is running this propaganda account? and 2) When is the @StateDept going to shut it down?
