Her latest statement was made under duress and fabricated by Iranian authorities. No one is going to be fooled that her courageous act was accidental.
The West is again spreading lies in an attempt to encourage social unrest in Iran. There is no evidence or reason to disbelieve Rekabi's explanation; the incident is simply being spun by Western media to advance their own agenda.
