According to Amnesty International, security forces have killed at least eight people in the past 24 hours during the protests in Iran. The security forces opened fire again on mourners and demonstrators, the human rights organization said on Thursday.
Amnesty condemned the reckless and unlawful use of firearms. Thousands of people gathered on Wednesday evening at the end of the mourning period for the late Mahsa Amini.
According to the human rights organization Hengaw, the security forces shot people and used tear gas in Amini’s hometown of Saqqez.
In the capital Tehran, security forces used tear gas against demonstrators. Eyewitnesses confirmed a massive presence of police officers and checks on the main streets in Tehran. Many shops were closed joining the rebellion. The situation in Tehran is still tense. In many places, demonstrators also shouted anti-regime slogans.
Towards evening people also came together in Tehran to sing exuberantly on the street. The presence of women was significant in all parts of the metropolis.
At night, various areas of Tehran, including Chitgar, Majidieh, shush, Tehranpars, Farjam, Hashemi, Shahrara, Tehransar, Shahrak-e Shahed, and Heravi Square witnessed massive demonstrations.

The brave youth and people of Khorramabad turned the 40th day of Nika Shakrami’s death into a scene of anti-regime demonstrations. They chanted against the integrity of the regime while they gathered around Nika’s tomb.
The people of Khoramabad joined the protests while attacking the regime’s bases in this city because of the murder of a 35-year-old man named Esmail Moloudi. He was killed the day before by the regime’s security forces.
The international community is responding to the regime’s inhuman behavior with more sanctions. Meanwhile, the regime responded to punitive measures, putting European politicians and institutions on a sanctions list.
