Iran: Woman Shot Dead Amidst Crackdown, Thousands Killed in Protests
Amidst the Iranian internet shutdown, disturbing evidence of the state’s crackdown on protesters has emerged, including videos showing a forensics institute in Tehran filled with body bags. One video reveals a screen listing 250 deceased individuals, suggesting the scale of the killings, with the date indicating deaths from protests. Authorities have reportedly attempted to prevent families from retrieving bodies, as evidenced by the secret burial of 23-year-old Robina Aminian. This tactic mirrors the strategy used by the regime to prevent large-scale mourning ceremonies that could further fuel the protests.
