At least 734 people are confirmed to have been killed in an Iranian security force crackdown on protests, though the actual death toll is likely in the thousands, a rights group said Tuesday.
“The figures we publish are based on information received from fewer than half of the country’s provinces and fewer than 10 percent of Iran’s hospitals. The real number of those killed is likely in the thousands,” the director of Norway-based NGO Iran Human Rights (IHR) Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said.
The group said that, according to its latest verified toll, at least 734 protesters, including nine under the age of 18, had been killed and thousands more injured.
