re: Given those scenarios, I don't understand why the gov'ts in question allow this kind of stuff......and why they don't prevent the West from seeing it? And why aren't the people protesting afraid? Any thoughts?

No 'great' thoughts. Iran has always been pretty open as long as it wasn't overt action to overthrow the government, or an anti-religious thing. They've had lots of student demonstrations over the years.
