Iranian Security Forces Attacked Demonstrators Brutally And Deadly, More Than 100 People Killed
News24xx.com - More than 100 demonstrators are believed to have died across Iran since Iranian leaders ordered security forces against demonstrators. Protests in Iran were triggered by rising fuel prices.
"At least 106 protesters in 21 cities were killed, according to credible reports," Amnesty International reported, as quoted by AFP on Wednesday (20 November 2019).
"The actual death rate may be much higher, with some reports stating as many as 200 killed."
The rights watchdog said the security forces received a 'green light' to thwart the protests that broke out on Friday (15 November 2019) and spread to more than 100 cities in Iran.
"The authorities must immediately put an end to this brutal and deadly act," said Philip Luther of Amnesty.
He also explained that Amnesty issued a voice based on reports on verified video footage and testimony from witnesses from people in the field, as well as information from rights activists outside Iran.
"Amnesty also urges the Iranian government to revoke a total block of internet access designed to limit the flow of information about crackdowns to the outside world," Luther said.
The video footage highlighted snipers who shot the crowd from the roof.
He also said, "A small number of protesters turned to stone throwing and arson and damage to banks and seminaries."
Security forces were also seen carrying bodies and injuring people on the streets and in hospitals. The troops also refused to hand over the bodies of the victims to their families, according to Amnesty.
Rising fuel prices sparked protests. Meanwhile, Iran officially confirmed at least five people were killed, including three security personnel who were allegedly stabbed to death by protesters.
