What if tens of thousands of people were killed… and most of the world never saw it happen? More evidence is now emerging from Iran that the recent crackdown on nationwide protests may have left over 20,000 people dead—a figure that, if confirmed, would mark one of the deadliest episodes in the country’s modern history. For weeks, much of this remained hidden behind a near-total internet blackout.

But fragments are starting to break through. Since protests erupted late last year, security forces have responded with what human rights groups describe as extreme and coordinated force. With communication restricted, information has trickled out through doctors, families, and journalists operating outside the country—often at great personal risk to those inside Iran.

According to the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, medical reports from inside the country suggest the death toll could be far higher than previously believed, potentially exceeding 20,000 people
