Scott Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 SULIMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) — Growing up under a repressive system, Sharo, a 35-year-old university graduate, never thought she would hear words of open rebellion spoken out loud. Now she herself chants slogans like “Death to the Dictator!” with a fury she didn’t know she had, as she joins protests calling for toppling the country’s rulers. Sharo said that after three weeks of protests, triggered by the death of a young woman in the custody of the feared morality police, anger at the authorities is only rising, despite a bloody crackdown that has left dozens dead and hundreds in detention. https://apnews.com/article/iran-health-middle-east-covid-iraq-e390b4d4f825cba822eb1b84f8b4cbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 An Iranian state broadcaster was allegedly hacked during its nightly news program Saturday, according to the pro-reform IranWire outlet, which shared a clip of the incident. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that the 9 p.m. newscast by the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN) under Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) was hacked for a few moments by anti-revolutionary elements. The now viral clip of the incident shows IRIB/IRINN airing a segment on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attending a meeting in the southern city of Bushehr, which was interrupted with a video of a cartoon mask with a beard and heavy brows against a black backdrop. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/09/middleeast/iran-state-broadcaster-hacked-intl-hnk/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
