Iranian chess grandmaster living in exile Mitra Hejazipour has called on international powers to help end the government's deadly crackdown on protesters, as casualty figures from the demonstrations continue to rise.
Hejazipour told Euronews' morning show Europe Today on Monday that protests that began in late December over economic collapse and have since evolved into demands for regime change were a “bloody massacre that killed more than 30,000 Iranians.”
