Snippet:
Recently, The Jerusalem Post reported that the Iranian regime hanged Hanifeh Avandi, a 24-year-old Iranian South Azerbaijani victim of child marriage, who had documented psychological problems. However, no one else reported on this atrocious case, except for a few Iranian human rights organizations. The question I find myself asking is, why did the Western media ignore her plight?
