200 school students killed in Iran protest crackdown, teachers union says
An Iranian teachers’ union said it had documented the deaths of 200 school students during a crackdown on protesters in Iran and published a list of their names.
“The society must know that as long as the death of a child has no cost, no political order is legitimate,” said the Coordination Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations, a national umbrella union linking teachers’ trade associations across multiple provinces.
The council said the 200 names were meant as a constant reminder of “a simple and horrifying reality: a system that kills the future,” calling for accountability.
Iranian authorities have not released an official list of minors killed during protest crackdowns.
