According to a report published by the Sunday Times, the number of fatalities from the suppression of nationwide protests in Iran may have reached around 16,500.

This report, written by Christina Lamb, references a confidential report attributed to doctors inside Iran. According to this report, in addition to the fatalities, over 330,000 people have also been injured during the protests.

The Sunday Times writes that in light of the nationwide internet and communication blackout, the ability to independently document and verify events has been severely limited, and doctors have reported an increase in the scale of violence and casualties.

The report states that government forces have fired on protesters using military weapons and snipers, with many of the victims being young people under 30. It also mentions instances of bodies being transferred from hospitals and secret burials.

The Sunday Times emphasizes that due to communication restrictions, independent verification of these figures is difficult, and other human rights sources have provided different numbers.

This report comes as concerns about human rights and the suppression of protesters in Iran continue.
