Tehran, Iran – Iranian authorities have launched an online portal for reporting names of individuals missing from a government list of 3,117 killed during recent protests, despite conflicting death tolls from human rights groups and the UN. The government released names of 2,986 deceased, prompting public outcry over omissions and inconsistencies, including repetitive entries. In response to growing demands for accountability, officials announced a fact-finding mission while maintaining that foreign “terrorists” instigated the unrest. The situation remains tense, with journalists and activists challenging the government’s narrative amidst persistent social and economic crises.
