Iran crackdown on protesters revealed in new videos after internet blackout lifted

Videos have begun emerging of Iran’s brutal crackdown on protesters after the internet was restored following a week-long government-imposed blackout.

The protests began on November 15 after a petrol price hike was announced. Demonstrations quickly grew into a wave of anti-government unrest that saw at least 100 banks and dozens of buildings torched in the worst violence since Iran put down a "Green Revolution" in 2009.

In one video, machine gun fire answers rock-throwing protesters. In others, motorcycle-riding Revolutionary Guard volunteers chase after demonstrators, while in a different location plainclothes security forces grab, beat and drag a man off the street.

“Reports have also emerged that wounded and dead protests are being removed by Iranian intelligence officers to hide the true scale of Tehran’s crackdown.

One of the videos published online over the weekend appeared to show security forces unarmed protesters in close range in the head before carrying their corpses into trucks.”

Any dead babies with scimitar wounds lying in the street, like they had in 2009?

Videos and photos in Telegraph are not much. Seems like the police are using 16 gauge or smaller shotguns, no automatic fire.

All this talk about supporting the Iranian protestors.

Why don’t we provide free satellite internet to all of Iran?

Even if the bad guys use it, we could watch their traffic.

12 ga wouldn’t fit so snug on any finger but the thumb. 16 max. Maybe 20.

They used Obama’s billions for their repression program. Way to go Barack - your legacy of treason lives on.
