Iranian reporter Masih Alinejad broke down in tears as the names of people she said were killed during protests were read out at the United Nations on Thursday (January 15). Iran.
Ms. Alinejad described the deaths of the victims, who she said were shot by members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
She struggled to go on, saying she felt guilty for not naming all the victims, adding that “the list goes on and on.”
She said protesters knew they would face guns and bullets but continued to demand justice.
Addressing the international community and urging governments to refrain from what she called “empty condemnations,” Alinejad said she no longer believed the Islamic Republic could be reformed and should not be considered a legitimate government.
