The number of protesters being killed in Iran is higher than state TV figures claim, with the Iranian authorities exhibiting a “pattern of distorting the truth” to conceal human rights abuses, Amnesty International has warned.
Iran has been rocked by 11 days of protests, which erupted after Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody in mid-September. The 22-year-old Kurdish woman died after being detained by the morality police for allegedly infringing Iran’s stringent rules on hijabs.
