Iran Report Says 16,500 Dead in "Genocide"
(Sunday Times-UK) Christina Lamb - The Sunday Times has obtained a new report from staff in eight major eye hospitals and 16 emergency departments across Iran, which says at least 16,500 protesters have died and 330,000 have been injured, most of them in two days of utter slaughter. Most of the victims are thought to have been younger than 30. At least 700 to 1,000 people have lost an eye. The accounts tell of IRGC forces and its Basij militia on motorbikes using live ammunition from Kalashnikovs and even machineguns mounted on pick-up trucks to mow people down. There were reports of Shia militias from Iraq being bussed in.
