“It is shocking to see what goes on inside the walls of Evin prison, but sadly the abuse depicted in these leaked video clips is just the tip of the iceberg of Iran’s torture epidemic,” said Heba Morayef, Middle East and North Africa Regional Director at @amnesty — PolitiTweet.org

@BiellaColeman But just like hackers can only exploit vulnerabilities already present in a system, this visceral evidence of human rights abuse is only being exposed because humans are continuing to suffer through it. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@BiellaColeman By using the news of these breaches and data dumps including sometimes disturbing imagery to bring attention to repression, hacktivists are drawing on a tradition of similar efforts including Wikileaks as well as social media movements like Black Lives Matter, Coleman said. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@BiellaColeman The way the groups appear to have leveraged governments’ own tools of oppression to uncover abuse also highlights one inherent vulnerability for government officials who pursue an all-seeing Big Brother: surveillance systems may also help expose evidence of their own misconduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@BiellaColeman This escalation—including leaks involving images from inside prisons in Iran and Belarus—draws on some of the same themes as earlier hacktivist efforts, but suggests a new level of technical and strategic sophistication among groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

A new wave of hacktivists are turning the surveillance state against itself, from Iran to Belarus, in what @BiellaColeman told me could be a "watershed moment" for the intersection of hacking and political activism. https://t.co/BVBrHOazY7 — PolitiTweet.org
