An official from Iran told Reuters on Tuesday that approximately 2,000 lost their lives in the protests in Iran, and added that the civilians and the security personnel were killed by the “terrorists”.
In the meantime, the head of the United Nations Human Rights Office was reported to have said he was “appalled” by the increase in the violence of the Iranian security forces against peaceful demonstrators.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk emphasized in a statement read by UN rights office spokesperson Jeremy Laurence that this vicious circle of violence should not be permitted to go on. He stated that the Iranian people and their calls for equity, equality, and justice must be acknowledged.
Laurence, who referred to the statistics on the scale of deaths, added, “It is said that the number we have been receiving is in the hundreds.”
“According to the United Nations’ own sources in Iran,” he cited.
