September 30 Saw Deadliest Crackdown On Iranian Protesters, Says Rights Watchdog

A screen grab from Zahedan on September 30 when several dozen protesters were killed and wounded by Iranian security forces.

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.
