Images circulated on digital media networks show the bodies of protesters killed by Iranian regime forces being held at Tehran Forensic Medicine. Families are keeping vigil outside Tehran Forensic Medicine to identify and retrieve the bodies.
The Iranian regime has been disrupting the internet and communication lines across Iran and Eastern Kurdistan for days to prevent the disclosure of those killed in its attacks on protesters. Images circulated online via alternative channels show that the number of those killed is quite high.
