Guards forces raid homes of families of slain Iran protesters

Plainclothes security forces and members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have targeted the homes of families of people killed in recent protests in eastern Tehran, sources familiar with the matter told Iran International.

The sources said the forces carried out intimidating raids, including firing shots, hurling insults and ransacking homes.

They added that families were instructed to collect the bodies of those killed during pre-dawn hours and to conduct burials quickly and privately, or face the risk of collective burials.

The sources also said families were told they would be charged fees related to the use of live ammunition.
