“These vehicles make dozens of trips back and forth from storage facilities … I have seen bodies in these trucks so stuck together it required strength to pull them apart. The blood was still fresh and dried up when they overcrowded them in piles.”

One witness at Behesht-e Sakineh, who was granted access to the site to look for the body of a friend, says he personally searched through hundreds of “stacked” bodies and was told by graveyard staff that they had “received thousands of bodies just in the past two days”.

    Gee this all feels a whole lot like the media reports of WMDs leading up to the Iraq War. All the US and Israeli friendly media sure want us to feel a certain way about Iran based on what people said they saw.

      With an internet blackout, what do you think is happening? They aren’t sitting down for tea to talk things out.

        Hard to say, but that doesn’t mean we should automatically believe the tales of publications who have a history of manufacturing consent amongst the public which later turned out to be false. They did it in Iraq, they did it in Venezuela, and they’d gladly do it again in Iran.

          I’m guessing you mean politicians who have a history of manufacturing consent? The Guardian generally has my respect. As do you.
