Why Is Iran Kidnapping and Executing Dissidents?

Abductions and executions of Iranian journalists and activists

seem to be aimed at complicating the resumption of talks

under the Biden administration.

Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani of Iran was everywhere.

What Iran Did Not Want You To See        Video        NYT Opinion        New York Times        2 December 2019

 

In the wake of an internet shutdown,

one human rights researcher sifts

through video evidence of atrocities.

 

Parts of Iran are back online,

and videos suppressed

by the nation’s internet shutdown

are starting to trickle onto social media.

 

In the Video Op-Ed above,

Raha Bahreini sheds light on the eye-opening stories

that Iran’s government did not want you to see.

 

While internet service has been partly restored,

many Iranians still do not have

internet access on mobile phones,

and government officials there have warned

that connectivity may be blocked indefinitely.

 

In a call for evidence of government repression

during the blackout,

the United States State Department says

it has received almost 20,000 messages,

videos and photographs.

 

A hike in fuel prices sparked protests across Iran.

 

Ms. Bahreini exposes and analyzes

footage of human rights abuses by Iranian security forces,

including shootings into crowds of unarmed protesters.

 

And she warns of what may come next

— incarceration, torture and forced confessions

that will further oppress the Iranian people.

 

If the world does not take a stand,

Ms. Bahreini fears,

Iran’s internet blackout

may foreshadow the nation’s darkest days.

Iran, ISIS and a Military Base: Why Leaving Syria Won’t Be Easy for the U.S.        Video        NYT News        New York Times        8 February 2019

 

President Trump

has ordered the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Syria.

 

But the unexpectedly large role of Al-Tanf,

a small U.S. outpost in Syria,

reveals why leaving the country won’t be so easy.

If It Were My Home

 

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

 

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

 

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

 

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
