Child Beaten by Special Forces Unit
In a video released on social media today, December 16, footage shows a child being beaten by special forces officers.
The nationwide protests have entered their third month. In the call for action this week, organized and continuing through the people of Iran, the country has witnessed widespread demonstrations and strikes by patriotic citizens. People in many cities, through their massive presence, have struck fear into the heart of the Islamic Republic government. A government that shows no hesitation in harming children.
In a video recorded today by a family and shared on social media, footage shows special forces units attacking a child in an isolated location and subjecting him to violence. Officers whose entire power is concentrated in their weapons fear even the presence of children on the streets. It should be noted that security forces in recent weeks have also assaulted numerous children who accompanied protesters to the streets, many of whom are reported to be under 14 years of age.
The suppression of protesting children and adolescents in Iran occurs while Islamic Republic authorities have previously killed many children in their attacks on various cities, including Zahedan, Mahabad, Javanrood, and many other cities, and have repeatedly supported child killings in Syria, Yemen, and Ukraine in their official statements.
Is this child-killing regime trying to psychologically torture the families of children by harming them and prevent their protests, or is this a sign of the final days of their rule—when they no longer have the strength to confront men and women and have resorted to attacking children?
