The Issue

At least BBC English and world should cover news they cover in BBC Persian. 

For far too long, the pain and brutality faced by the people under the Islamic Republic of Iran have been overshadowed by the world's silence. My personal plea stems from a grave concern: the lack of extensive media attention towards the ongoing massacres and potential genocide in Iran by major outlets like BBC English. Despite credible reports and cries for help, the hardships faced by countless innocent Iranian citizens continue to go underreported. 
Statistics reveal that in recent months, hundreds of protesters have been unlawfully detained, many have been injured, and lives have been tragically lost. The Iranian regime's violent crackdown on its people, who are demanding basic human rights, deserves more visibility. There is a pressing need for mainstream media to shed light on these atrocities, bringing awareness to global audiences and urging international intervention.

Concrete action from a media giant like BBC can significantly impact public perception and lead to meaningful change. Increased coverage by BBC English would ensure that the voices of those suffering in Iran are amplified and heard on a global stage.

We ask the BBC to uphold its responsibility as a global broadcaster to offer comprehensive and accurate reporting of international events, and to commit more resources towards covering the crisis in Iran. By doing so, you can contribute to a wider acknowledgment of these human rights abuses and help foster a global dialogue that could lead to intervention and support by world powers.

It is imperative that we stand in solidarity with the people of Iran. Their stories are stories of bravery and resistance, and they need to be told. Every signature on this petition is not just a demand for increased accountability by the BBC but a beacon of hope for those fighting for freedom and justice in Iran.

Please sign this petition to urge BBC English to dedicate more coverage to the grave situation in Iran and help bring about the change that the Iranian people so desperately need. Your signature can be a catalyst for justice and awareness. Together, we can ensure that the call for help does not fall on deaf ears and that awareness leads to action.
