Contradiction of two opposing narratives about the use of pellet bullets
Ghazanfari Abadi, head of the Judicial Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, stated that the police did not and do not use pellets in protests at all.
Dahnavi, a member of the Presidium of the Assembly, said that the police used paintball guns and pellets in street clashes, neither of which causes serious injuries. The Iran Human Rights organization based in Norway today released new statistics on the current protest casualties, indicating that 326 people have died. BBC Persian has documented dozens of reports over 9 weeks of protests in Iran of protesters being injured and killed by plastic pellet bullets, paintballs, and hunting and war bullets.
