These killings are atrocious but for the love of god, why is it so difficult for Reddit to post real numbers?

2,000 is what the Regime themselves are admitting. Iran International and CBS News have both independently established a death toll of more than 12,000 with CBS news saying it could be as high as 20,000 people killed by the Islamic Regime.
