BRAVE Iranians say the world has yet to “grasp the depth of catastrophe” of the regime’s bloody crackdown as they revealed harrowing accounts of violence.
Witnesses told The Sun how they saw the Ayatollah’s ruthless stooges gun down children, burn bodies with acid, and break the limbs of protesters.
One source said: “Please inform the world so our voice reaches everywhere about the crimes of the Islamic Republic.”
Protests early in January descended into scenes of untold bloodshed as evil Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered his death squads to “show no mercy”.
Panicked Khamenei – facing the biggest challenge to date to his barbaric rule – has tried to keep the oppressed nation cloaked in an internet blackout.
But despite his attempts to conceal the savagery of his death squads, courageous Iranian freedom fighters have shared chilling first-hand accounts with The Sun.
Given the immense personal risk they have put themselves under to speak out, we have changed their names or left them anonymous to protect their identities.
These accounts detail the atrocities that everyday people in Iran’s MEK Resistance Units face.
One source in the city of Shiraz told The Sun: “My brother works in a hospital. Slaughter is underway. What you see is only one-tenth of reality.
“Many were beheaded. Bodies were taken elsewhere to reduce the numbers".
Iran’s government claims the death toll is 3,117, saying 2,427 were civilians and security forces, while the remainder were “terrorists.”
Opposition-linked outlet Iran International, which is based outside Iran, said at least 36,500 Iranians were killed as Khamenei masterminded an unprecedented crackdown.
The current death toll is the highest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ousted the late Shah and delivered power into the hands of the ayatollahs.
But with an internet blackout enforced and the regime burying and burning bodies, the true grisly toll may never be known.
Ali, a medical student in Tehran, told how at the height of the protests hospital shifts were cancelled for all staff – except for a handful “trusted” by tyrannical rulers.
Children bled to death and others were left blinded or with life-changing injuries as they were left helpless without vital medical care.
He told The Sun: “Those people didn’t care at all. They didn’t even attend to children.”
In one case, a 12-year-old boy had been shot several times – but was still alive and speaking.
Doctors refused to give him life-saving blood, however, and he died.
Many hospital patients being treated for gunshot wounds disappeared after being dragged away by security forces.
Sources in Iran also revealed the regime’s Republican Guard and Basij brutes arrested and executed doctors for treating wounded protesters.
Graphic images that emerged from the streets of Iran laid bare the sheer scale of slaughter – with bodies piling high.
Bodies of those killed by the merciless regime, meanwhile, were dumped in mass graves or hurled out of moving vehicles, witnesses say.
Others were burned with fire and acid “so no trace would remain for families”, a source said.
But for those who dodged death, their ordeals bore the hallmarks of a horror film as IRGC thugs terrorise and torture survivors.
