The video captures a scene of chaos and violence, with multiple protesters wounded or killed as security personnel move through the area. The bodies of some victims, seen in previously leaked images, are now confirmed by the recent footage, shedding further light on the scale of the violence that day.
Details about the specific number of casualties remain unclear, but the video underscores the severity of the Iranian authorities’ response to the protests. Human rights organizations have raised concerns about the use of deadly force against civilians exercising their right to demonstrate.
