Contradiction between two opposing accounts regarding the use of pellet bullets
Ghazanfari Abadi, head of the Judicial Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, stated that the police have not and do not use pellets in protests at all.
Dehnavi, a member of the Assembly’s Presidium, said that the police used paintball and pellet guns in street clashes, which do not cause serious injury. The Iran Human Rights organization based in Norway today released new statistics on the fatalities of the ongoing protests, indicating that 326 people have died. BBC Persian has documented dozens of reports over nine weeks of protests in Iran regarding injuries and deaths of protesters due to the impact of plastic pellet bullets, paintball bullets, and hunting and war bullets.
