At least 522 people have been killed in four months of anti-government protests in Iran, a report by a US-based non-governmental organization says.
The dead include 70 minors and 68 police officers or members of the security forces, HRANA (Human Rights Activists News Agency, founded by Iranian exiles in 2009) said in a new report on Sunday.
Nearly 20,000 people have been arrested and 110 of them face charges that carry the death penalty under Islamic law, the NGO added. Already, four protesters have been executed.
Mass mobilizations have taken place in over 160 cities of the country since mid-September, with the participation of thousands of people opposed to the theocratic regime.
Iranian authorities have so far not released a detailed account of the protests, which they characterize as riots incited by enemies of the Islamic Republic. They neither deny nor confirm HRANA’s reports.
The trigger for the mass mobilizations was the death of a young Iranian of Kurdish origin. Mahsha Amini, 22, died on September 16, three days after she was arrested in Tehran by morality police, who charged her with not fully covering her hair and thus violating the Islamic Republic’s extremely strict dress code laws. of women.
