Kahrizak

Kahrizak is a location in Tehran Province, Iran, that has recently gained attention due to reports of a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests in January 2026. News articles cite images and videos circulating on social media purportedly showing a morgue in Kahrizak containing numerous bodies of those killed during the crackdown. These reports have emerged amidst widespread internet shutdowns across Iran, making it difficult to verify information and assess the full scale of the protests and government response. The alleged events in Kahrizak highlight the severity of the situation in Iran and raise concerns about human rights violations and the government's suppression of dissent. The location's significance lies in its potential role as evidence of the government's actions during the protests and its impact on the Iranian population.
