Several LGF readers emailed about this photo published by an Iranian newspaper and posted on several Twitter feeds, which was apparently Photoshopped to make the crowd look larger. It does look like a pretty clear example of photo manipulation, but so far I haven’t been able to discover which newspaper it comes from, or who took the photo; there’s a lot of disinformation being pushed out via Twitter, so take this with a grain of sodium chloride.
