A chilling video from Iran, where protests continue on the 15th day, has surfaced. As the death toll is reported to be 538, images of lifeless bodies being transported to a morgue by truck have caused outrage, with everyone who watched the video commenting that "the death toll could be much higher than reported." The phrase "photo number ... from 250" that appeared on one of the hospital screens also supports these claims.
The US-based Iran Human Rights Activists News Agency announced that the number of people who have lost their lives in the protests that have been ongoing in Iran for 15 days has risen to 538.
490 OF THE DEAD WERE PROTESTERS
HRANA reported that at least 538 people have died in protests across the country in the last two weeks, including 490 protesters and 48 security personnel. The statement also mentioned that more than 10,600 people have been detained.
"THE DEATH TOLL COULD BE MUCH HIGHER"
While the death toll is reported as 538, images circulated from the Kahrizak forensic center in Tehran suggest that the casualties could be much higher.
BODIES LINED UP SIDE BY SIDE
The images show the morgue where the individuals who lost their lives in the protests in Iran were transported by trucks. The video shows lifeless bodies lined up side by side.
In one of the videos, a label appears on the screen stating "photo number ... from 250," which reveals the scale of the death toll.
PROTESTS IN IRAN
On December 28, 2025, protests initiated by shopkeepers in the Grand Bazaar of Tehran due to the significant devaluation of the local currency against foreign currencies and economic issues spread to many cities across the country.
While no official statement has been made regarding those who died or were injured in the protests, HRANA reported on January 10 (the 14th day of the protests) that 116 people, including 37 security personnel and 4 healthcare workers, had lost their lives, over 2,600 people had been injured, and 2,638 people had been detained.
