Amnesty calls for global diplomatic action amid unprecedented mass killings to crush dissent

Amnesty International Iran Researcher Raha Bahreini paints a harrowing portrait of a nation under siege by its own government. Amid an internet blackout, reports of systemic, indiscriminate violence have emerged as part of a pattern of brutal repression aimed at crushing dissent. Through firsthand accounts and verified footage, Amnesty documents what it calls an “unprecedented scale” of lethal force and mass indiscriminate killings. As a "militarised climate" takes hold of the country, there are widespread reports of rooftop sniper attacks as bodies pile up at the morgues. It's calculated strategy is emerging not just to suppress, but to terrorize.
