They cut the internet and gunned down 12,000 protesters. Absolute tragedy. I've been semi-depressed this week just thinking about it.

The world and ourselves seem to forget. The party and government simply waits for those who experienced the event to get old and die. After that, no one seems to care about it. And they can pretend this never happens.
This is a total communication blackout.
according to iranian government sources talking with nytimes there are 3000 dead
I haven’t seen any of these and I have been looking.

I did find this one: https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2026/jan/12/bodies-l...
It doesn’t appear to be anywhere near thousands, but covered bodies have been put out onto the street, so something is going on there.
highly graphic:

PS
In Islam they don't do cremation and burial is within a day before next sunset hence the horrible footage of hospitals releasing bodies publicly in the street - it is part of their faith and even the regime respects it.
Around 2,000 people were killed in Iran protests, an Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday, blaming "terrorists" for the deaths of civilians and security personnel.
A senior Iranian health ministry official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said about 3,000 people had been killed across the country but sought to shift the blame to “terrorists” fomenting unrest. The figure included hundreds of security officers, he said.
Another government official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he had seen an internal report that referred to at least 3,000 dead, and added that the toll could climb.
