Hengaw Organization for Human Rights said, "A bullet used by security forces during demonstrations in Sanandaj city pierced two-sided glass, and a 20-centimeter wall," Hengaw Human Rights Organization (HOHR) reported. Yesterday night, the situation in Sanandaj escalated as hundreds poured into the streets and confronted the security forces. Iran security forces appear firing over people in Sanandaj in a video circulated on social media.


"Security forces direct fire killed a 9-year-old child on Saturday night in Sanandaj; the child died while in his mother's hug," Hengaw reported. Iran has severely restricted internet and communications, making it difficult for activists and human rights groups to pass updates on Iran's situation. 


Local sources claimed that Iran lost control of some Sanandaj streets and deployed drones to surveil the city as its forces were prevented from going into the city's neighborhoods. A drone was hovering over Sanandaj on Monday night. According to Hengaw, reinforcements were sent to Sanandaj to regain Iran's control. It posted on Facebook that "special forces were dispatched to the city on 15 buses."  


Amnesty International in Iran tweeted a video that showed different rounds used against civilians in Sanandaj and said," it had received several reports of increased use of weapons, tear gas and shooting against demonstrators in Sanandaj, including tear gas fired into peoples' homes.


"The countries around the world should immediately raise their level of protest with Iranian ambassadors and ask them to immediately end the suppression of protests and respect the right to freedom of peaceful assembly," the human rights watchdog said.
