Spreading lies and stories about victims of IRI is coming to Mastodon as well.

The tragic death of Aida Rostami after her capture by regime forces has angered people inside and outside Iran.

As per latest excuse, the regime told the family of her that she had fell from an overpass bridge and died. Even saying that she had committed suicide.

But family members and those who examined her body say that there were signs of torture visible and the cause of death was very possibly result of those tortures.

The case have been used by #Saudi Financed Persian TV channel #iraninternational who (without any source) claiming that one of her eyes was removed.

The story now has been shared by 1000s without any reliable source backing it and Mr. Karimi who is posting stories about Iran on. Mastodon is also sharing it and refered to a source that iwas referring to IA as source for the claim (all without any links).

Her Wikipedia page does not have any references to the IA claim.

IA was also the source of the famous fake story about the "death sentence of 1500 protesters" that the Canadian PM retweeted

Iran carries out first known execution over anti-government protests

This is the first execution of people convicted of ‘waging war against God’ and being 'filth on earth' which are the common terms used by IRI since the early days of it's horror raign.

The sad news is being covered and used by the disgusting Saudi backed #IranInternational that is being quoted by so many people who believe they are receiving accurate news from Iran, but in reality, they are getting a spewed version of the events to make the crimes of IRI even worse to enrage those reading them.

The Guradian reported:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/08/iran-executes-man-23-mohsen-shekari-allegedly-stabbing-pro-regime-officer

Mohsen Shekari had been sentenced to death for allegedly blocking a street and wounding a member of the pro-regime Basij militia on 25 September, during the early phase of the protests triggered by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini.

State media published a video of what it said was Shekari’s confession, in which he appeared with a bruise on his right cheek. He admitted to striking a member of the Basij militia with a knife and to blocking a road with his motorbike alongside one of his friends.

The court found that he had used the weapon “with the intention of killing, causing terror and disturbing the order and security of society”. He appealed against the verdict, but it was upheld by the supreme court on 20 November.

Which is an accurate report of what Iranian state media had reported about his case and the reason for his sentence.

Sadly, the crimes of such cathegory are exempt from the normal procedures of judiciary in Iran and the accuse usually don't have access to legal representative nor ability to fight the decision to higher court which is the normal case in Iran even with it's limited legal rights for people condemned to death.

But the Saudi backed Iran International, covered the story differently:
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202212088960

The Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, identified the person who was executed as Mohsen Shekari but gave no more details. The specific actions Tasnim mentioned as reasons for Shekari’s death sentence cannot be independently verified.

The report they refer to did clearly indicate the ground for the decision with details, but it's true that the accusations could not be verified by other sources.

Later in the same article, they actually say what they denied 2 paragraphs earlier:

Judiciary spokesman Masoud Setayeshi announced on Tuesday that five people indicted in the killing of a Basij militia member, Rouhollah Ajamian, were sentenced to death in a verdict which they can appeal.

This is a sad and disgusting action by the regime who is stepping up it's crackdown on protesters and targeting those who were involved in many confrontations with Basij and Police that has led to death of some 40 of them including several high ranking IRGC commanders assassinated by masked men on motorcycles.

I am afraid this execution is just the first of many more to come and will only escalate the conflict and push Iran more towards another bloody conflict like those in the 3 years of terror between 1981 and 1983.

Israeli, Saudi and neocon funded "activists" push for attacks against Iranians in US and Europe pushing for the new JCPOA

Ever since the first day of the protests in Iran after the tragic death of #MahsaAmino, the young woman who died in hospital shortly after she was captured by IRI's "moral police" almost 3 months ago, the large number of "activists" and massive number of fake accounts and bots started a coordinated attack against anyone who is not sharing their extremist views and those who have been working hard to push for lifting the illegal and immortal sanctions intiated by #Trump against #Iran and signing the new nuclear deal (even called #JCPOA2).

She is one of those who is being interviewed regularly by #Israel's #i24_en, #SaudiArabia's #AlArabia_en and Saudi Financed Persian language #IranInternational as "Iranian expert".

#IranInternational is one of the major source of "news" about Iran on social media these days.

But what most people don't know is that the so called TV is financed by Saudi Arabia in support of the Reza Pahlavi royalists.

They have been pushing for the return of Pahlavi as the king of Iran and using selective reporting to make it like he has a massive support among Iranians.

Things got weird when demonstrators start changing "Down with the dictator, weather is King or Spiritual leader", she stopped the interview and interacted with some of the protesters to ask them to stop!

This is sick and disgusting example of special interest group with the money from foreign countries working hard to hijack the protests of Iranians in the country and redirect it toward the pro-US, pro-Saudi and pro-Israeli "leaders".

The video is in Farsi, without subtitle shared on Twitter but the part was removed from their web site and tweeter feed!
