Iran Press/ America: The human rights group said police across the country were "failing their obligations under international law to respect and facilitate the right to peaceful protest, exacerbating a tense situation, and endangering the lives of protesters."
"Equipping officers in a manner more appropriate for a battlefield may put them in the mindset that confrontation and conflict are inevitable." Amnesty's statement underlined.
Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million people in over 150 countries and territories who campaign to end abuses of human rights, according to its website.
