Following the death of a young Kurdish girl Mahsa Amini in police custody in September, the country was plunged into a wave of protests.
The NGOs Iran Human Rights and Hrana have denounced that between 488 and 527 people were killed during the repression of protests over the death in custody of young Kurdish-Iranian Mahsa Amini last September, leading to the most violent mobilizations in the country over the past decade.
In particular, Iran Human Rights denounces that the dead include 64 minors and 39 women, and that at least 107 protesters are currently at risk of execution, death penalty or conviction.
This NGO does not count the deaths among the security forces, but Hrana does, who counts 70 Iranian officials out of the total balance of 527 fatalities.
Iran Human Rights takes the opportunity to at least denounce that 55 people have been executed in Iran since January 1 this year.
Of those, 37 were executed on drug-related charges who, like the protesters, are “tried by the Revolutionary Courts without due process or judicial guarantees,” the NGO denounces.
The Iranian authorities have exonerated the security forces from all blame for the death of Amini, who, according to their version, died of a previous pathology, although they have acknowledged certain excesses during the repression of the demonstrations, attributing them to the action of “rioters”. in the service of foreign powers.
