Footage of Tehran deaths appears as protests escalate

Video footage shared with the Cyprus Mail by a third party appears to show the aftermath of a crackdown on protesters in Tehran, as demonstrations by the Iranian diaspora continued in Cyprus over the weekend.

The Cyprus Mail could not independently verify the authenticity, date or location of the graphic footage.

It has been shared with this newspaper as part of material circulating online that purports to document the scale of violence used against unarmed civilians.

The footage consists of two separate clips.
