Unrest has continued in Iran Image: SalamPix via PA Iamages IRANIAN SECURITY FORCES targeted a hospital and a student dormitory overnight, activists have said, as the protest movement that flared over Mahsa Amini’s death entered a seventh week.
Rights groups say riot police shot Mohsen Mohammadi, 28, during protests in Divandarreh on 19 September and he died the next day at Kausar hospital in the flashpoint western city of Sanandaj. Soon after, Hengaw said, the same security forces also “fired at the nearby student dorm” of the Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences.
The demonstrations have continued despite a crackdown that the Oslo-based Iran Human Rights group said yesterday had killed at least 160 protesters, including more than two dozen children. IHR called for “diplomatic pressure” on Iran to be stepped up, with its director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam warning of a “serious risk of mass killings of protesters which the UN is obligated to prevent”.
