Iran 'killed 16,500 protesters and injured more than 300,000' in brutal crackdown, report claims - as regime accused of 'genocide under cover of digital darkness'
But doctors inside Iran have painted a far darker picture, according to a new medical report seen by The Times. 'This is a whole new level of brutality,' said Professor Amir Parasta, an Iranian-German eye surgeon who helped coordinate the doctors' report. 'Those linked to Israel and US caused massive damage and killed several thousands', Khamenei said in a speech broadcast on state television on Saturday, as his supporters chanted 'death to America, death to England'. Attendees can then be heard chanting: 'Death to America, death to America, death to America'. 'Death to America, death to England, death to traitors, death to Israel,' attendees chanted back.
