Iranian forces killed five wounded protesters in ambulance, source says
According to a message shared with Iran International from an alleged eyewitness, security forces in Mashhad stopped an ambulance during the January 7–9 protests and entered the vehicle.
Iran International could not immediately corroborate the veracity of the account amid an internet shutdown authorities imposed on Jan. 8 lingers.
The source says they then fatally shot five wounded protesters inside, reportedly including a 15‑year‑old girl, and threatened the ambulance driver and doctor to stop treating injured demonstrators.
The same source also said several people who were previously arrested alive were returned to their families about a week later shot dead.
