[OC] Estimated death toll of Jan 3 – 4 protests crackdown in Iran, as reported by different sources over time, under total internet and phone network shut down.
20k is an extraordinarily high number, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. To have a compression.
Jallianwala Bagh massacre around 1k, British rifleman shooting into a crowd for 10 minutes.
Tiananmen Square, with Tanks driving over students, was maybe 1.5k
The Fall of Mosul, ISIS assaulting a capital city, resulted in around 6.5 civilian casualties.
Euromaidan was only 108.
The Gaza war, 2 years of Israel bombing, is only 90k around.
The Battle of Grozny caused around 25k civilian casualties.
The last Shah’s reign is estimated to have killed only ~4k people; sources also report similar numbers for Pinochet.
This is closer to a regular civil war, not protests. 1k combat-related deaths per year is the requirement for something to be classified as a civil war
