Reporting on Iran’s deadly protests through social media

Iran has made global headlines over the widespread protests that were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in September of last year.  It has been the biggest show of opposition to Iran's clerical establishment since the 1979 revolution. Following her death, protests erupted in more than 80 cities across Iran, leading to a deadly crackdown on protesters and to the arrest of thousands of activists journalists, and citizens. The Islamic regime's brutal treatment of protesters and the lack of a free press have made social networks an indispensable source for accessing information from inside the country.  To better understand the situation in Iran and the efforts behind accessing verified content we speak with Mahsa Aminolahi of the Eurovision Social Newswire.
