Iran did the same in 2019 and killed civilian protesters all around the country in the dark.

Holy shit, incredible, why am I only hearing about this now, etc etc etc.

I mean---look at this goddamn art (from the bit where Adso has a religious vision while looking at reliefs on a door, like the dork he is):
