The Devastating Effects of Live Ammunition: Zahedan Protests, September 29, 2023″
The echoes of live ammunition fired by Iranian military forces on September 29, 2023, during the protests in Zahedan, continue to reverberate. This tragic incident sheds light on the severe human rights violations committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
At least 23 citizens were injured today as a result of live ammunition fire, with four of them being children under the age of 14. This horrifying event highlights the egregious human rights abuses perpetrated by the Iranian government.
The use of live ammunition, typically designated as lethal, has once again proven to be a dangerous tool in the hands of those who seek to suppress peaceful protests. The fact that children are among the victims illustrates the callousness of the Iranian authorities, who show no regard for the lives and well-being of their citizens.
This incident is just one of many where the Iranian government has demonstrated a complete disregard for human rights and the principles of justice. It is imperative that the international community condemns these actions and holds the Iranian government accountable for its grave violations of human rights.
The people of Zahedan and all of Iran deserve to live in a society where their rights and dignity are respected, and it is our collective responsibility to demand an end to these atrocities and an adherence to the fundamental principles of human rights
