Thousands of people have been killed in deadly protests in Iran, with conflicting reports on the exact number of casualties. Estimates range from over 5,000 to as high as 50,000, with Iranian authorities imposing an internet blackout to restrict information. Human rights organisations challenge the regime’s claim of 3,117 deaths, with reports suggesting a minimum of 5,000 casualties. Doctors believe tens of thousands have been killed, with Tehran recording a significant number of deaths. Drastic protest activity and internet blackouts have led to what doctors consider a massacre.
