What this headline (and, to a lesser degree, the article itself) is going out of its way to not mention is that these dead were unarmed protesters, likely Aymara, and they were shot by police. The contrast between all these vague, detail-sparse '17 dead in clashes' type articles, when it's not a typical 'boogeyman government' doing it, and the 'Deaths reported as security forces open fire on protesters in Iran' type articles is pretty stark. Call it what it is.
