Horrific new photos show brutality of Iran’s protest crackdown as death toll feared to reach 20K: reports

Leaked photos from an Iranian mortuary show the battered and swollen faces of at least 326 victims, including 18 women, who were killed during the bloody crackdown on protesters — with a United Nations human rights expert warning that the total death toll may exceed 20,000.

Verified pictures from the Kahrizak Forensic Medical Center in Tehran show the individual bodies of the brutalized citizens, whose ages ranged from 12 to 70 years old, the BBC reported.

The images were taken so the dead could be identified by their families, with many relatives finding it difficult to clearly identify them due to the graphic injuries.
