Its report is based on evidence from videos and photographs, as well as eyewitness accounts. FMTNews Amnesty Children Iran Murder
Protests broke out across Iran in November after the announcement of a surprise petrol price rise.
Amnesty said in its new report it had evidence that at least 23 children were killed, with 22 of them killed by the security forces “unlawfully firing live ammunition at unarmed protesters and bystanders”. “The fact that the vast majority of the children’s deaths took place over just two days is further evidence that Iranian security forces went on a killing spree to quash dissent at any cost,” said Luther.
It said this corresponded with a broad pattern of families of those killed in protests being intimidated by the state to prevent them talking openly about the deaths.
