Tehran : The slogans of “Mullahs must go” and “Javid Shah” have faded from Iran’s streets. What is now emerging is a far more chilling picture of the nightmare unfolding in the digital darkness unleashed by the clerical regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Accounts of prisoners being left naked in freezing cold, and detainees being injected with unidentified substances are surfacing from inside Iranian jails.
Images of bodies wrapped in black bags, stacked on floors and gurneys, and families wandering in search of loved ones, have emerged out of Iran after reports of protests died down. The anti-Khamenei protests that erupted in Iran in the last week of December were the deadliest since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. What began as demonstrations over a collapsing economy turned into a direct challenge to the clerical regime that has ruled Iran for 45 years.
The Khamenei regime responded with overwhelming force. It deployed the loyal Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and enforced a nationwide internet blackout. The clerical regime also brought in 5,000 Iraqi Arab militias to brutally crush the protesting Iranians. The crackdown coincided with repeated warnings from US President Donald Trump, who urged protesters to persist and warned Tehran of consequences, even as Western Asia edged closer to a wider regional crisis.
Even more disturbing were claims of an unexplained medical procedure. The source added that several “detainees were injected with substances that were not explained or identified by prison staff,” reported the Daily Express. A 16-year-old was among several protestors who were sexually assaulted by Iranian security forces in custody in the city of Kermanshah. “During the transfer, security forces touched their bodies with batons.
According to a report in the Iran International, evidence emerging through rare phone calls, Starlink messages, and smuggled footage points to mass killings across cities, towns, and even villages. Days after the internet blockade, the Khamenei regime used Chinese or Russian military-grade jammers to disrupt Starlink. Then the security personnel of the regime raided homes to seize communication equipment to hide the mass killings in Iran.
In some cases, families said they were asked to pay for the bullets used to kill their relatives. In others, they were pressured to falsely declare the dead as Basij militia. This could be a ploy to show a higher number of security personnel being killed during the unrest for which the Iranian regime has blamed Israel and the US.
