Relatives of dead Iran demonstrators made to PAY for ammo used to kill them – as protests stall in ‘now or never’ moment

EVIL Iranian leaders are making families of dead protesters pay “bullet money” to reunite them with the bodies. Relatives are told that the fee will help cover the cost of their loved one’s killing.
