The death toll in Iran's bloody crackdown on nationwide protests has reached at least 5,002, activists said on Friday, warning many more were feared dead as the most comprehensive internet blackout in the country's history passed the two-week mark.
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency offered the death toll, saying 4,716 were demonstrators, 203 were government-affiliated, 43 were children and 40 were civilians not taking part in the protests.
