Several circulating videos, which have not been verified by AFP, allegedly showed relatives in a Tehran morgue identifying bodies of protesters killed in the crackdown. The US-based Center for Human Rights in Iran (Chri) said it had received “eyewitness accounts and credible reports indicating that hundreds of protesters have been killed across Iran during the current internet shutdown.”“A massacre is unfolding in Iran. The people should believe that we (the government) want to establish justice,” he told state broadcaster Irib. The price of meat has nearly doubled since the start of the protests, and while some shops are open, many others are not. Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the ousted shah, who has played a prominent role in calling for the protests, called for new actions later Sunday.
