At least 65 people have died and more than 2,300 have been detained across Iran during the country’s recent anti-regime protests, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).
The agency, which defends human rights in Iran, said in an update on Friday that protests were recorded in 512 locations in 180 cities.
The same source states that 50 dead were protesters, 14 were law enforcement agents or security forces and one was a “civilian linked to the government”.
CNN was unable to independently verify the number of deaths and arrests.
HRANA stated that it is not possible to establish an exact death toll due to the continued shutdown of communications in Iran.
