How many people did ayatollah killed?

Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, was responsible for significant political repression during and after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. While exact numbers are difficult to determine, thousands of political opponents, dissidents, and members of various groups, including the leftist opposition and the Baha'i community, were executed or killed during his regime. Estimates of those killed during the early years of the revolution and the subsequent purges vary widely, with some sources suggesting tens of thousands. However, precise figures remain debated among historians.
