The regime in Iran has been condemned over 60 times by international bodies for its ongoing violations of even the most basic human rights. When it comes to executions, the Iranian regime has the world’s highest number of executions per capita.

Iran's regime is known for indiscriminately murdering peaceful demonstrators in the streets, including men, women and children. In November 2019, at least 1,500 civilians were gunned down and murdered by the regime’s oppressive security forces.

This cartoon by @MayaNeyestani vividly portrays Iran’s hypocrisy.

To add insult to injury, members of the Iranian regime’s parliament literally chanted “DEATH TO AMERICA!” in what they described a show of “respect to the movement of the oppressed people in the U.S.…”

Iran’s state-TV is also playing a very active role in the regime’s hypocritical approach.

Iran's state media & officials are:
-Silent when a 13-year old girl is beheaded by hear own father
-Silent when locals of oil-rich areas don't have running water
-Silent when authorities don't take action against forest fires

Interesting to see Iran’s dictator @Khamenei_ir lecture the U.S. about “human rights."
It is worth noting that the mullahs’ regime ruling Iran has been using brute force against the Iranian people for 41 years and counting.

Scenes of the Nov 2019 massacre launched by the regime against peaceful protesters are just one example and yet will never be forgotten. This footage is from Gorgan, a city in northern Iran.
Caution: Viewer discretion is advised due to graphic scenes.

Shiraz, a city in south-central Iran, was described as the epicenter of the Iranian people’s uprising against the mullahs. It was also probably where regime forces showed the utmost brutality.

An Iranian immigrant in Berlin asked a crew of Iran's state-run TV covering a recent demo:
"Did you air a report on the 1,500 protesters killed by the mullahs' regime in Nov 2019? Why are you running away? Are you afraid of the people's camera?"

Freedom of assembly is a right that should be recognized equally for all mankind across the globe. And all governments should be held accountable to respect this right for their people.
While denying this fundamental right for the Iranian people...

... the mullahs’ regime is currently riding a bandwagon in an attempt to:
- both score cheap political points against U.S. President Donald Trump,
- and probably more importantly, whitewash its horrendous crimes and horrific past of unspeakable human rights violations.

@seena_ir explains it very well in a recent piece in The Federalist:
"Speaking out against police brutality is important, but it is unprincipled & hypocritical to criticize it in America while whitewashing * ignoring it in Iran or any other country.”
