eyewitness accounts and relatives of the dead, field reports, data related to medical centers<\/strong>, and information provided to us by doctors and nurses in various cities.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe biggest massacre in Iran's contemporary history\u201d<\/big><\/p>\n
After compiling all this information, Iran International concludes: \u201cIn the largest massacre in Iran\u2019s contemporary history, at least 12,000 people were murdered<\/strong>, most of them on two consecutive nights, Thursday and Friday, January 8 and 9.\u201d<\/em> In other words, the bulk of the massacre took place immediately after the internet blackout was imposed in the country.<\/strong> In its conclusions about this savage wave of repression unleashed by the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei, Iran International adds: \u201cThis massacre is unprecedented in Iran\u2019s history in terms<\/strong> of its geographical scope, intensity of violence, and number of deaths in a short period of time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThis massacre was carried out on the personal orders of Ali Khamenei\u201d<\/big><\/p>\n
Iran International also points to the intellectual and material authors of this massacre: \"According to information received by Iran International, these citizens were killed primarily by the Revolutionary Guard and Basij forces. This massacre was completely organized<\/strong>, not the result of 'scattered' or 'unplanned' clashes.\"<\/em> Iran International adds:<\/p>\n\"Information received by Iran International from the Supreme National Security Council and the Presidential Office indicates that this massacre was carried out on the personal orders of Ali Khamenei<\/strong>, with the explicit notification and approval of the heads of the three branches of government, and with the issuance of a direct firing order by the Supreme National Security Council<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cMany of the victims were young people under 30 years old\u201d<\/big><\/p>\n
Regarding the victims, Iran International notes: \u201cMany of the victims were young people under 30 years old.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em> This information network, using Iranian language, exposes the information blackout the dictatorship has imposed on the country to perpetrate this massacre: \u201cThe country\u2019s media outlets have been shut down. Hundreds of national and local newspapers have been closed since Thursday<\/strong>, an unprecedented event in the history of the Iranian press. Currently, aside from the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, only a few news websites are active in the country, and they too operate under censorship<\/strong> and direct control by the security institutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nIran International states: \"The Islamic Republic cannot conceal this crime by isolating the Iranian people from the world.<\/strong> The truth will be recorded; the names of the victims will be preserved; and this massacre will not be buried in silence.\"<\/em> This information network has announced: \"After carefully verifying and evaluating the information, Iran International will publish its findings and make them available to all relevant international authorities and institutions<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p>\n---<\/p>\n
