False accusation on Instagram against Iranian government

A false accusation on Instagram against the Iranian government claimed that it had sentenced 15,000 protesters to death. In fact, only one protester has been sentenced to death, though some others may also face execution.

To kill even one person for protesting is very shameful, but opponents of the regime must take more care to ensure they continue to deserve to be trusted.

Egypt has not sentenced Alaa Abd el-Fattah to death, but he may die from a hunger strike.
