Amnesty International Iran researcher Raha Bahreini paints a harrowing portrait of a nation under siege by its own government. Amidst the demise of the Internet, reports emerged of systemic, indiscriminate violence as part of a pattern of brutal repression aimed at crushing dissent. Through first-hand accounts and verified footage, Amnesty documents what it calls the “unprecedented scale” of deadly force and mass indiscriminate killings. As a “militarized climate” rules the country, there are widespread reports of sniper attacks on rooftops as bodies pile up in morgues. A deliberate strategy is emerging not only for suppression, but also for terrorizing.
