At least 215 dead in the repression, according to an NGO

Repression is not weakening in Iran. According to a count by the NGO Iran Human Rights, 215 people have been killed by the security forces since the beginning of the demonstrations, triggered on September 16 by the death of Mahsa Amini. The victims were identified in 19 different provinces of the country.

The city of Zahedan, in the province of Sistan-Balochistan, paid a particularly heavy price. After the rape of a 15-year-old girl attributed to a police officer, the repression of the demonstrations left at least 93 dead according to the IHR. Among the dead in Masha Amini-related protests and violence in Zahedan are 27 children.
