The Daily Background

The Iranian government has used state television to accuse those who protesting the results of the (almost certainly) fraudulent June 12th election as violent hooligans bent on destroying private property. “Promoting anarchism and chaos and vandalism, supported by Western powers and Western press, is not acceptable at all,” an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said today, echoing recent comments from other officials.

Now, a series of images and video digitally smuggled out of Iran debunks this notion, and proves that the Iranian riot police are actually the ones destroying property– only to blame it on the legitimate protesters in an attempt to marginalize them in the eyes of the world (and in the eyes of other Iranians). Let’s spread these images as far as possible so nobody will be fooled by the regime’s lies.
