Iran State TV Hijacked by Protesters during Supreme Leader's Speech
(Telegraph-UK) Abbie Cheeseman - Iran's state TV was hijacked during a speech by the country's supreme leader on Saturday, with his address replaced by images of the young women that have been killed in protests over the last four weeks. For 15 seconds, images sympathetic to the nationwide women-led protest movement were aired, including photos of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei surrounded by flames as the phrases "the blood of our youth is on your hands" and "join us and rise up!" flashed across the screen. The Norway-based Iran Human Rights said at least 185 people have been collectively killed in the protests.
