Canadian, black face, crime minister, liar trudeau, deletes viral tweet, about thousands of Iranian protesters were sentenced to death
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has deleted a tweet suggesting that Iranian authorities had issued death sentences to thousands of protesters.
The removal comes after a number of journalists and human rights campaigners pointed out that the information in the post was untrue, despite being shared by a slew of celebrities, political commentators and government officials.
The post, which went viral on social media over the past couple of days, shows a woman holding an Iranian flag with the text: “Iran sentences 15,000 protesters to death – as a ‘hard lesson’ for all rebels.”
In the tweet, Trudeau stated that Canada denounces the “Iranian regimes’s barbaric decision” to impose the death penalty on the protesters.
A Canadian government spokesperson has explained Trudeau’s decision to delete the message, stating: “the post was informed by initial reporting that was incomplete and lacked necessary context.”
According to the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, over 14,000 people have been detained in the country since protests broke out in September, but this number has not been officially confirmed by Tehran.
The demonstrations were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was arrested for not wearing her hijab properly. She died in police custody, but Iranian authorities insist her death was caused by a pre-existing medical condition.
