The protests are continuing and growing. And they are presenting a challenge to Iran’s clerical rulers who took control of the government in the 1979 revolution.
According to human rights groups, more than 15,000 people have been arrested since protests began in Iran. It is difficult to get information if there are deaths among those arrested.
The NGO Iran Human Rights information is that over 350 people have been killed, including at least 43 children and 50 women, during the authoritarian government’s crackdown.
