    1. The makeshift morgue in southern Tehran does not have enough space for all of the dead.

      Footage, sneaked out of the country, shows [dozens of Iranians ](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/iran-protesters-forced-pay-bullets-killed-relatives-4171496?ico=in-line_link)lying on the ground outside in body bags waiting to be found and identified by loved ones.

      The regime has been fighting hard to prevent the world from seeing scenes exactly like this, with internet monitor [NetBlocks](https://mastodon.social/@netblocks/115902878155053010) confirming in the early hours of Friday that Iranians had been [without internet access](https://inews.co.uk/news/iran-internet-blackout-protests-economy-escalate-4158905?srsltid=AfmBOoodD2uTCQtjK0kgDJRPFa9B1xB_OtyBJOzt5xmrllWoduf0sET7&ico=in-line_link) for more than 180 hours – believed to be the longest digital shutdown in the country’s history.

      As in previous shutdowns, the Iranian people are still finding ways to smuggle vital eyewitness footage out to the wider world.

      In a handful of videos verified by this paper, men and women can be seen at the Kahrizak morgue – created on the site of a forensic centre in Iran’s capital – searching among corpses for their family and friends.

      There are so many bodies it is hard to count them accurately, but this paper has recorded between 150 to 200 dead inside and outside of the building.

      Reports from those within [Iran](https://inews.co.uk/topic/iran?srsltid=AfmBOordhkveN3nObz8y2wsDMgevCtzjx0H6lT0tbscgrpy9ewbIgUcs&ico=in-line_link) state that the authorities “are demanding between 500 and 700 million tomans (£8,000-£11,000)” from families[ to return the bodies of their relatives](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/iranians-like-us-faced-deadly-threats-on-uk-streets-not-afraid-4164572?ico=in-line_link). If a family can not pay, one source said, the person’s death certificate will be marked indicating that the deceased was an enemy militia.

      Among the bodies outside the medical centre is one victim who reveals the depth of the regime’s brutality. Notes including a date of birth scrawled on her body bag indicate she is only 16 years old. Her name appears to be Parian.

      Notes on other body bags translated by this paper reveal names including Peyman and Mohammad. There are also body bags marked simply “unknown man” and “Mohammadi number 5”.

      Some bags are open. Many of the dead appear to show wounds consistent with a bullet. Some appear to have suffered more violently. One man’s stomach has been cut open – either in an effort to kill him, or by those trying to save his life.

      The floor the Iranians lie on is smeared with blood, and some of those wandering between the bodies are seen covering their noses and mouths to try to block the smell.

      The majority of the visible bodies appear to be men. One is wearing a football shirt, a few others are in jeans.

      *The i Paper* has verified the location of this footage by cross-referencing with satellite imagery and available independent images of the medical complex.

      The recent publication of the footage has been confirmed through reverse searches of individual frames from the videos. Translators confirmed the language written on the body bags and spoken by those searching the scene is Farsi.
