News Center- The Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) released a report on its website yesterday (December 7). The organization has announced that at least 458 people including 63 children and 29 women have been killed in the ongoing nationwide protests in Iran. “The rise in numbers relates to now confirmed killings that took place in the first two months,” the report said.

According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, at least 458 people including 63 children have been killed by security forces in the nationwide protests so far. The 63 children, including nine girls, were under the age of 18. “But their ages have not all been verified through documentary evidence. Iran Human Rights is working to obtain confirmation of their ages,” the report said.

The organization also announced that the number of people who have been sentenced to death. “Authorities have also reported death sentences being issued against five protesters, bringing the total number to 11 people.”

“Iran Human Rights considers the execution of protesters to be in violation of all human rights laws and standards, and calls on the international community to react appropriately,” said Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of the IHRNGO.

He added, “Issuing death sentences in show trials which lack minimum fair trial standards is a continuation of the plan for the extrajudicial killing of protesters and must be met with a strong reaction by the international community.”
