Topic	So Iran has been going through unrest
hockeybub89 11/23/19 12:57:12 PM #4:	The government also came in for some extraordinary criticism from the nations writers guild over what amounted to an internet blackout that started on Sunday in the nation of 80 million, effectively obscuring much of what was happening during the protests. NetBlocks, a firm that tracks cybersecurity, said the shutdown had disconnected almost the entire country. Shutting down the internet and cutting the access of Iranians and the outside world to the news is the latest tactic to crush protests without the eyes of the world on you, the guild said Thursday in a statement posted on Telegram. President Trump, whose sanctions are at least partly blamed for Irans economic travails, broke six days of silence on the protests. Iran had become so unstable, Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter, that the regime has shut down their entire Internet System so that the Great Iranian people cannot talk about the tremendous violence taking place within the country. Amnesty International has said that more than 100 Iranians were killed in the protests, some by security forces using live ammunition to disperse and intimidate crowds. The government, which has portrayed the protesters as rioters and thugs inspired and paid by foreigners, has called the Amnesty report propaganda. Any casualty figures not confirmed by the government are speculative and unreliable, and in many cases part of a disinformation campaign waged against Iran from outside the country, Alireza Miryousefi, a spokesman for Irans United Nations mission, said Wednesday in a Twitter post. A spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the elite force responsible for national security, said that several leaders of the unrest with dual citizenship and ties to foreign governments had been arrested. The semiofficial Fars News Agency reported that rioters had looted and burned chain stores in a number of Tehran suburbs, and that some had received $60 for each place set on fire. The Fars account did not specify who had supposedly provided that money. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:930579921] in So Iran ha...
