Oh, I end up forwarding the movie; I could not tolorate seing somebody getting stone. I cried so much. This was a real story and on the top of that is still hapening. How sick can this get? I am thinking in which ways we could probably make concience on Iranian society about same rights for man and women. No man has any right to beat or stone a woman for being unfaithful. If the relationship did not work, leave her alone. In the long way, he will find someone better. Also, how they use God as an excuse to stone a woman. God is a God of love, not hate. Please recomend this movie to your friends and family in Iran I saw tonight the movie “The Stoning of Soraya M.” Oh, I end up forwarding the movie; I could not tolorate seing somebody getting stone.

They also eliminate any possibility of truly locating the source of information in that echo chamber, something that one would think would have been of paramount concern to a real journalist. However, the BBC from very early on -- too early -- decided that false and unverifiable sources of information would be the "true" ones, as an intended act of subversion against the Iranian regime. Even the allegation that PRESS TV was inaccessible, and thus could not be consulted for balance, was false, and I immediately verified that claim as soon as this post was published. PS: The Iranian state is excellent at tracing the source of all Iranian tweets, rest assured, and they can certainly track the identities of the original posters in Twitters just like any of its users.
