Iran: Student, Father of Three, and Bodybuilder Among Protesters Killed - All Shot in the Head

Shocking details are emerging about the victims of the bloody crackdown on anti-government protests in Iran, despite the widespread internet blackout. Among the dead are a 23-year-old fashion student, a father of three, and a former world bodybuilding champion, all shot in the head. Human rights organizations report that at least 540 protesters have been killed in the last 15 days, including eight children. Testimonies describe armed security forces firing indiscriminately and hospitals overwhelmed with bodies. The story of Robina Aminian, the student who dreamed of a fashion career in Milan, is one of many tragic examples.
