On January 8th, a massacre began in Mashhad, Iran’s second-most populous city. Iranians across the country had gone out to protest the regime—the culmination of a movement that had convulsed the country for nearly two weeks, following the collapse of the economy. Under the cover of a nationwide internet blackout, security forces used lethal weapons to target demonstrators from rooftops, bridges, and building complexes. Only now, more than a week later, have details corroborating the scope of the carnage begun to emerge. The mass killing continued over the next two nights, according to five Iranians who witnessed the violence and who shared videos with the reporter Cora Engelbrecht. “For three nights, the streets of my home town turned into a killing field,” one demonstrator said. “The death was incomprehensible.”
