The ongoing protests in Iran have claimed the lives of three children, with human rights groups accusing the regime's security forces of 'indiscriminate targeting'. The nationwide uprising, sparked by economic turmoil, has spread to over 78 cities, with demonstrators demanding regime change. Despite a worsening crackdown, the protests persisted, and the death toll rose. Among the victims were Mostafa Falahi, a 15-year-old from Azna, and 17-year-old Rasul Kadivarian, who was killed alongside his 20-year-old brother, Reza. A third child's death, a 17-year-old from Qom, is yet to be verified. Human rights activists emphasize the presence of youth in the protests, calling for widespread condemnation of the regime's actions. The 2022 protests, known as Woman, Life, Freedom, resulted in over 500 deaths, including at least 60 children. A witness from Ilam described a brutal crackdown, with security forces firing on protesters, including teenagers and children. The situation remains deadly, with reports of raids on hospitals and the use of military-grade weapons.
