Iran death toll

Seventeen is the official number killed in the Iranian election protests, but one hundred fifty is closer to the truth, according to some witnesses on the ground. After today’s "massacre," both totals are bound to go higher. The whole thing now looks like a repeat of Tiananmen Square.

UPDATE:  So it seems. June 24. Remember the date. Although the open chest wound photo at the second link is (as stated) older–from June 20.

  1. The real number is probably somewhere in the middle. Both sides try to push the numbers their way. I remember that Romanian revolution, where the reports on thousands killed were widespread for the first few days.

    Haven’t seen any numbers lately. Considering the photos of people cleaved with axes, it amazes me any of them still turn out.
