“This isn’t a threat, but a reality I feel I need to convey explicitly,” Mr. Araghchi wrote. “The violence on our streets has subsided and normal life has returned nationwide.”
Videos and witness accounts that emerged at the peak of the protests suggested that the government waged one of its deadliest crackdowns in decades. Witnesses described government forces opening fire, apparently with automatic weapons and at times indiscriminately, on unarmed protesters. Thousands of people have been detained, human rights groups have said…..
