Sunni cleric says killings of protesters point to 'organized massacre'

Mowlavi Abdolhamid, the Sunni Friday prayer leader of Zahedan, described the killings of protesters in Iran as an “organized massacre.”

“Despite severe internet restrictions, scenes of the harrowing and brutal killing of protesters in various provinces are gradually being published by the media, indicating an organized massacre, with further aspects of it gradually coming to light,” Abdolhamid said in a post on X.

“This catastrophe has created a deep and irreparable rift between the people of Iran and the ruling establishment,” he added.
