Mr Ainsworth and the West Putney anti-Israel League

I posted earlier -

'"Tehran morgue videos show the brutality of Iran's crackdown on protesters"'

I have made previous claims that rulers of Middle Eastern Arab states show little of the entrepreneurial spirit to raise the living standards of their people compared to that shown by Israel.

They should take a lesson from their Persian neighbours and seek similar business opportunities.

"Iran authorities demanding large sums for return of protesters' bodies, BBC told"

'Families of people killed in the protests in Iran have told the BBC that the authorities are demanding large sums of money to return their bodies for burial.

Multiple sources have told BBC Persian that bodies are being held in mortuaries and hospitals and that security forces will not release them unless their relatives hand over money.

At least 2,435 people have been killed during more than two weeks of protests across the country.

One family in the northern city of Rasht told the BBC that security forces demanded 700 million tomans ($5,000; £3,700) to release the body of their loved one.

It was being held at the Poursina Hospital mortuary, along with at least 70 other dead protesters, they said.

Meanwhile in Tehran, the family of a Kurdish seasonal construction worker went to collect his body, only to be told they must pay a billion tomans ($7,000; £5,200) to receive it.

The family told the BBC that they could not afford the fee and were forced to leave without their son's body. A construction worker in Iran typically earns less than $100 a month.'

Palestinian Hamas must be kicking itself for missing a similar business opportunity when it came to returning the remains of the corpses resulting from its October 2023 genocidal attack on Israel.
