(1) Quite interesting how #MSM launches a broohaha over Maedeh Hojaberi being arrested & forced to confess over Instagram posts, and yet not the same coverage over Shaparak Shajarizadeh's 20-year sentence? #Iran's regime feeds the MSM to cloak its main actions. #QAnon #WalkAway
(2) For those interested, here are my latest tweets about Shapark
(3) A user has kindly provided English subtitles for Shaparak's words describing her 20-year sentence & how #Iran's judiciary is actually demanding she spend more time behind bars for protesting compulsory hijab. #WalkAway
(4) For those unfamiliar with #Iran regime apologists:
Diverting attention away from #IranProtests calling for #IranRegimeChange, the Farsi networks of the BBC & manoto are backing the Farsi hashtag #برقص_تا_برقصیم.
Their ties with Tehran's mullahs will be revealed. #WalkAway
(5) #IranUpdate
I have to admit to a mistake.
While I condemn #Iran's measures against #MaedehHojabri & #ShaparakShajarizadeh, sources from inside the country are telling me Maedeh's confessions ordeal dates back to a month ago & Shaparak's video was recorded outside of Iran.
(6) I warned everyone about how #Iran's regime is using the ordeal around #MaedehHojabri to cloak its sentencing of #ShaparakShajarizadeh.
Now, I'm learning that BOTH cases are very suspicious & signs indicate Iran's intelligence & their apologists abroad are behind this.
(7) Again, I admit to my mistake of falling for this trap.
Will use this as experience for future scenarios.
I hope others who may have made the same mistake learn from this fiasco & become more aware of the #Iran'ian regime's nature.
(8) Will provide more #IranUpdate(s) when available.
My apologies for any inconvenience & confusion.
(9) As promised, here's an update.
Images of #MaedehHojabri outside of #Iran.
As I previously said, I was a victim of the regime's deception & the #MSM chorus providing immense coverage of this girl being arrested for dancing, all aimed at diverting attention from #IranProtests.
