'Every protester who goes to the rallies in the street knows that he could be killed by a bullet...but still everybody attends the protests just with this hope in their heart that they could send the Islamic Republic out of our country.'
In this Oct. 1, 2022, file photo, Iranian protesters march down a street in Tehran, Iran.Iranians protesting their country's regime have been putting their lives on the lineand, even in the face of violence, say they will continue to raise their voices.
The protesters have filled the streets of Iran shouting her name and calling out the Iranian regime's authoritarian rules. Boroumand's group has been tracking the number of executions and arrests in Iran and estimates that more than 519 people were killed last year. By comparison, 317 killings took place in 2021, she said.
Boroumand said that families of the detained protesters who were killed in custody are being blackmailed into admitting their loved ones killed security force members in exchange for their bodies. She noted that the authorities are using gymnasiums to house detainees because of the lack of space in jails.
"Fortunately I was in the examination room and, with my friend’s help, I managed to get myself to the hospital's yard and escaped," he said. "By leaving the country, I decided to make my face living evidence for the world to see the Islamic Republic of Iran's crimes closely."
