Mehran Samak, a 27 year old man, is reported to have been killed by security forces in northern Iran during public celebrations by anti-government protesters following the national football team’s defeat against the United States on Tuesday. Norway-based rights group Iran Human Rights said Mehran Samak was shot in the head by security personnel when he was out celebrating in Bandar Anzali Tuesday night.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Chief, Volker Turk, has said that the country is in a “full-fledged human rights crisis” as authorities crack down on the protests.
