Iranian security forces killed and wounded several dozen protesters in the southeastern city of Zahedan on September 30, a day known as "Bloody Friday," making it the deadliest day of the protests triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on December 22. HRW said it had found that at least 12 people, including a boy, were killed and 30 were wounded on September 30, though the actual numbers may be much higher.
