At least 31 civilians have been killed in crackdowns by Iranian security forces on protests that have erupted over the death of a young woman after her arrest by the morality police, an Oslo-based NGO said Thursday.
“The people of Iran have come to the streets to achieve their fundamental rights and human dignity … and the government is responding to their peaceful protest with bullets,” Iran Human Rights (IHR) director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said in a statement.
