Rising Casualties in Iran's Protests

Iran: Activists have reported that the death toll from the ongoing protests across Iran has tragically risen to at least 2,000 individuals as of Tuesday.

The latest figures were provided by the Human Rights Activists News Agency, a US-based organization known for its reliable reporting during previous unrest.

This agency gathers information through supporters within Iran who verify the details.

According to their report, 1,847 of those who lost their lives were protesters, while 135 were linked to the government. Additionally, nine children and nine civilians not involved in the protests were also reported killed.

The situation has been complicated by internet outages in Iran, making it increasingly challenging to monitor the protests from outside the country. The Associated Press has not been able to independently verify the reported death toll.
