#Iran—DISTURBING

God knows how many chicks were put to death as chicken farmers could no longer afford to feed them.

Of course, the regime would never purchase these chicks to feed the homeless & needy.
#Iran—DISTURBING

More footage of killing thousands of chicks.

Why? They say they can't feed them.

Truth: Regime-linked companies are deliberately lowering supply to increase the market price of poultry.
#Iran—DISTURBING

More footage of killing thousands of chicks.

Regime officials say #coronavirus caused a decrease in poultry demand & prices dropping. Thus, they ordered measures to raise prices.

Question: Why wasn't this supply of poultry used to provide for the poor & needy?

 The mother of the individual killed by Saeedpour had agreed to pardon his crime & thus have the execution canceled based on the mullahs’ own laws. However, the public prosecutor entered the prison, opposed the pardon & had Saeedpour executed.

 Only after one question authorities ruled he had been mature enough to realize the nature of his crime. However, a source close to Shayan's family said he suffered from mental illness & had been under psychiatric counseling when he committed the crime.

 The @WHO & its Director-General @DrTedros are under criticism for aiding China in keeping a lid on the #coronavirus outbreak & not sharing vital, life-saving info with the world.

WHO & Tedros have a very similar approach when it comes to the regime in #Iran.
2)
 Tedros Adhanom, former Ethiopian health & foreign minister, became WHO chief after promising reform.

Tedros rescinded this decision under int’l pressure.
