A disturbing video circulating on social media shows several people lying motionless on the ground following massive protests held on Thursday night in Fardis, 25 miles west of Tehran.
The footage was reviewed by the Iranian fact-checking platform Factnameh, which said the videos are authentic, newly recorded, and had not previously appeared online.
At least seven people can be seen in the footage lying on the ground. The condition of some of them appears critical, though there has been no official confirmation of casualties during the crackdown on protests on Thursday.
Factnameh also said at least one additional video from protests in the streets of Fardis shows demonstrators coming under live fire.
