How the sides differ Left sources cover an Iranian blasphemy death sentence; alternative sources cover an uncontested UN Human Rights Council vote. The excerpts describe different events.

The two excerpts do not appear to describe the same event, but both feature concerns from rights groups. The Guardian reports that a 23-year-old accounting student, Najmeh Amini, was reportedly sentenced to death for blasphemy over a social media post in Iran. Rights groups warn of rising executions, with at least 600 this year. Al Jazeera reports that the UN Human Rights Council elected 15 members in an uncontested vote. Rights groups say this undermines accountability because countries with poor human rights records won seats. No right-leaning coverage is available.
