At least 3 protesters have been killed in Iran's recent anti-government protests triggered by a new economic policy which led to a massive hike in food prices.
Speaking to the Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA) Saturday, Ahmad Avaei, the representative of Dezful in Iran's parliament, said the protester killed in Khuzestan was a resident of Andimeshk. Avaei claimed that those who protested soaring prices, which he said weren't more than seventy people, were not locals and had come from other places.
‘1500 Tasvir’, an opposition Twitter account, reported Friday that security forces shot Omid Soltani, a 21-year-old protester, Thursday evening in Andimeshk in Khuzestan Province. He appears to be the protester whose killing Avaei confirmed.
Dissident activist Hossein Ronaghi on Saturday named two more protester deaths in Dezful in Khuzestan and Farsan in Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province.
According to social media reports Pish-Ali Ghalebi, a middle-aged man, was shot in the head Friday while standing in front of the window inside his house and watching the protests. A video published by 1500 Tasvir on Twitter shows him on the floor inside his house as other men and woman at the scene wail and cry.
Social media reports have named the third victim as Hamid Ghasempour, a young man, who was also shot on the street on Friday evening and died in hospital. A video published on social media apparently shows him on the ground after being also shot in the head.
