One month after Iran's deadly protests, fears for loved ones in the growing death toll

Published
It's been a month since one of Iran's deadliest periods of anti-government unrest in the history of the Islamic Republic. While mass protests have subsided amid a crackdown by security forces, a US-based human rights group has confirmed the deaths of more than 6000 people — warning the total could stand at more than 20,000. Iran's official death toll is just more than 3000. There are also grave concern for the tens of thousands who have been arrested. This story has been produced in collaboration with SBS Persian.
