Nika Shakarami, 17, was arrested during #IranProtests after burning her headscarf. After a week security forces delivered her dead body to her family w/ her nose fully smashed & her skull broken with multiple blows.

Wow, guest on Russian TV says Russia violated international law by invading Ukraine and Ukraine finds it unconscionable to surrender.
Meanwhile in Russia: several panelists threw some truth grenades at the stunned TV hosts, look how those angry propagandists pummeled the pundit who said that by destroying the infrastructure, Russia is waging a cruel, sadistic war against civilians. He won't be invited back.
