"A judiciary spokesman said they had not been arrested but that they were summoned and "warned not to increase tension." They were later released, he said."
That doesn`t sound VERY brutal. Obviously we did see the police batoning people, but then we also saw people burning buses etc. and you`re liable to get batoned for that anywhere in the world.
I don`t know. I don`t like Ahmedinejad and his regime is capable of brutality and quite possibly electoral fraud. But at the moment, I get a sense of a western media desperate to portray this story as one of a brutal dictator stealing an election, but with the media lacking evidence to back their story up.
All they have is that the loser CLAIMS the election was rigged and that some of his supporters in Tehran agree with him, or at least are angry that they lost. Losers often claim elections are rigged. Where`s the hard evidence that it was?
For instance, the campaign that led up to it, seemed to be pretty fair and free. |
