Activists and eyewitnesses in Iran allege that protesters detained by the regime's security forces are being executed in prison, with authorities falsely attributing their deaths to earlier riots. Reports from lawyers and prominent figures, such as Olympic athlete Kimia Alizadeh, describe a lack of trials or investigations, and families searching for loved ones among rows of body bags at coroners' offices. The protests, sparked by economic turmoil and a sharp decline in the national currency, have been met with a severe crackdown, including mass killings, torture, and disappearances. Official estimates place the death toll in the thousands, while opposition sources claim it is much higher, and a widespread internet blackout has limited information leaving the country. International organizations and activists are calling for urgent global action and accountability, as the United States increases its military presence in the region amid escalating tensions.
