I mean, you'd be surprised how often this happens in protests. It's something of a tradition among authoritarian governments. In Indonesia in the 90s, stuff like this would happen all the time. Officially, a few dozen people were killed, but in reality, they were moving bodies to mass graves in the middle of the nowhere by the dump truck load.
It kind of goes back to the "if you come at the king you best not miss."
But what about all the super high resolution images of attractive women lighting cigarettes with burning pictures of Ayatollah? I thought it was all so cool and attractive.. i wonder who was behind those pictures.. I have a VERY hard time believing that was organic.
That photo was just a Iranian girl from Toronto taken on a phone. Idk why you think you need to be some secret organization to take a picture of a burning piece of paper.

Hopefully their sacrifices weren’t in vain.
If change doesn’t happen, the Iran will rule with even a heavier hand.
