The huge death tolls in Iran being splashed all over the media are sourced to an outfit in Fairfax, VA called “Human Rights Activists in Iran” that is overwhelmingly funded by the US government. What is their methodology? Is it credible? Who cares? Just pump the big numbers out.
National Endowment for Democracy (NED) received $315 million in FY2025, and GOP appropriators just released their FY2026 spending bill – NED will again receive $315 million. This “Human Rights Activists in Iran” outfit, based in Northern Virginia, says it’s an NED grantee.
No yes that does belong to HRANA and the connection is listed there but im saying I cannot find that bottom left image of NED involvement with HRANA specifically as the 48th recipient of a grant over 5k. Im just wondering if anyone is able to find where that comes from so I can use it as a resource in the future
I will stay on the lookout for that document. Maybe, I can find it later on and I will ping you here if I do find it.
Meanwhile, maybe, the other organization that is listed in 990 Form(Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran) and the reference in the HRANA website can help you in the meantime as a resource.
