Iran IRGC Commander admits that in 2009 anti-regime protests in Iran 830 suffered ruptured spinal cord

 
A senior commander of Iranian regime’s revolutionary guards disclosed that during the anti-government uprisings in 2009 “over 830 people suffered rupture of the spinal cord”.
General Hossein Hamedani, then commander of IRGC force tasked to crack down on demonstrations in the capital Tehran disclosed this matter on February 7 in an interview with Fars News Agency, the IRGC mouthpiece.
This section of his interview was erased only hours after it was posted by this news agency.
Similarly, Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the terrorist Qods Force, that also posted the interview, took it down only hours later.
Hamedani did not elaborate on those whose spinal cords had been cut, but during the uprisings a large number of the youth were killed by direct gunshots fired by the IRGC and the paramilitary Basij force. The number of those killed is estimated anywhere from 100 to 300 with Neda Agha Soltan, the young woman killed by a bullet to her heart, as the symbol of the martyrs of the uprisings.
Reports indicated that hundreds had been injured in the 2009 demonstrations. At some instances, state security vehicles run over the demonstrators. The video clip of this atrocity shocked Iran.
Statements by this IRGC commander about the rupture of spinal cords of 830 people raised strong loath toward the mullahs in the Iranian society which forced the IRGC spokesman to promptly deny this inadvertent disclosure the next day.
