Several videos received from inside Iran indicate a violent and bloody crackdown on protesters on the evening of January 8, 2026.

In the first video, sent from Tehran, an injured individual is seen lying on the ground with severe bleeding from the head. At the same time, the sound of gunfire can be heard in the background. People present at the scene state that the individual is still showing signs of life and must be transferred to a hospital as quickly as possible.

The second video, also related to the protests on the night of January 8 in Tehran, shows another person lying on the ground with heavy bleeding from the head. Bystanders are seen using paper tissues in an attempt to stop the bleeding from one of the wounds. One person at the scene says the individual has died, while another, in tears, can be heard shouting, “Please, hold on.” A short distance away, another injured person is visible on the ground. Although no gunfire is heard in this video, the sounds of crying and distress among those present are clearly audible.

At present, with the internet shut down and even international phone calls blocked, there is no information available regarding the current condition of these individuals. Visual evidence from the videos also suggests that the injuries sustained are not the result of trampling or crowd congestion.
