Leaves the Oscar Nominations with. Best picture. The other film. Welcome to the program. Denied firing live ammunition of protesters during the 3rd day of demonstrations across. Growing after the government admitted that it did accidentally shoot down a ukrainian passenger jet last week killing 176 people on board. Military involvement claiming the crash had been caused by mechanical fault protesters now accuse the government of a coverup. Shouting and chaos as onlookers helped people shot and bleeding on the streets of tehran. The video was taken the assadi square where crowds have gathered out right at the perceived coverup after iran shot down a ukrainian passenger plane. Video shows tear gas being fired into the crowd. Dispersed leaving a trail of blood as they flee. In signs of increasing defiance images of irans heroes of being desecrated. Ordinary iranians speaking critically about the crash that even talking about it makes my heart beat faster and makes me sad. I feel ashamed when i think about their families im so sad. He. Is our media try to describe it as a technical problem because of their interests and political and international reasons but later developments changed the game and they had to tell the truth. Progovernment views papers are also voicing their disappointment and printing lists of demands of the victims shame to the headline in farsi and unforgivable just a silly of the Iranian Regime had been celebrating its missile attacks on Iraqi Air Bases Housing u. S. Forces. Now that narrative is also changing the commander of the revolutionary guards telling the country ancient irans top officials met with the m e of neighboring qatar a u. S. Ally but sides agreed deescalation was the only way forward. Or short time ago i spoke with her Borzou Daragahi whose middle east correspondent for the independent news website i asked him if the government in tehran was indeed guilty of a coverup. Well it seemed like they were moving in that direction as the aftermath of the crash unfolded but i think there was a couple factors that made them confess basically that they had shot this plane down one would is the overwhelming signal intelligence and forensic intelligence that they were being provided with by investigators and International Officials and the other was simply the demographic of those who were on board that these were elite people people who were very highly educated many of them going graduates of the most prestigious universities in iran heading back to their posts at universities and companies in the west after winter holidays these are people who are not going to be silenced these were not the sort of average everyday iranians these were people who have a little bit of clout and know how the system works and so on and so it was very hard to hide this from those people ok so weve seen the pictures of these protests on the streets been interesting to know how widespread it is this huge deal across the country. You know im going to get like some criticism from some of the very anti regime people in the west but i think this is a relative these are relatively small protests and unless they manage to gather more people and have more of a momentum it will not make a difference i think also in the protests based on the videos that ive seen it represents a rather narrow subset of the iranian demographics the protests that were taking place just in november and the ones that were in 20172018 represented perhaps a more diverse kind of slice of the iranian population more rural poor demographic and so on these are mostly students and like elite if those 2 different crowds could merge their concerns and go up against the regime then it would have something to worry about but right now the regime is able to handle this so as you mentioned there were there were already process in the country but now you have as you say the iranian government by the by called obama conspiracy killing its own people how how does that leave the regime politically. I mean i think it hurts i think it damages their credibility i think that theyre in sort of Crisis Management mo but they dont really know how to deal with this kind of crisis this kind of unprecedented youll recall that there was also during the funerals for qassam solar monny a stampede in his hometown that left 60 people dead so i think that the regime has some answers to account for and its not able to do that its not a regime that is rooted in any kind of transparency it does not have a mechanism for this kind of thing it just knows how to hold on fast and hope for the best and ride out the storm no good talking to you thank you so much for joining us Borzou Daragahi from the independent news website. Well 57. 00 of the passengers on board the plane were canadian citizens many of iranian descent mourners across canada have been paying tribute but one vigil in edmonton the Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau said it had been wrenching to listen to stories from relatives about the after ones he vowed to pursue justice and accountability for the victims families and friends.
