> tens of thousands of their own citizens

Any credible source for this?

1. Western media is not credible because West treats Iran as enemy

2. Iranian media is not credible because they obviously want to hide facts when they're negative

Now my question is, why are you spreading unverifiable information as something credible and building your facts on top of it?

For tens of thousands? No. That’s the upper end of estimates. For the brutality? Yes. Wikipedia is a good start.

Then you can also fairly say they've killed billions of people - that's the upper end of estimates, could be 1, could be 10, but upper estimate is definitely billions.

Also, please read what I wrote, I meant there is no credible source in this scenario, hence no one should be able to cite anyone's numbers

No, you can’t. One, it exceeds Iran’s population. Two, no known method of estimation produces a reasonable guess at those levels.

> there is no credible source in this scenario

There are. There aren’t if you assume ex ante they don’t exist, or if you’re committed to ignoring them.

> Iran has executed three men accused of killing police officers during anti-government protests in January,

As I said, West considers Iran as enemy, used words by BBC reflects this clearly.

1. "accused of" - we don't know, but lets say they're "accusing" them

2. if true, then they have killed the "police officers" (seems many?) so what do you expect from Iran?
