At least 50 people have been killed by Iranian security forces in anti-government protests, Iran Human Rights , an Oslo-based organisation, has said.
The street violence, which IHR says has spread to 80 towns and cities, was triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurd who had spent three days in a coma after being detained by the morality police in Tehran. The United States has announced it was easing export restrictions on Iran to expand internet services, days after SpaceX owner Elon Musk said he would seek an exemption from sanctions to offer his company's Starlink satellite service in the Islamic republic.
The new measure will allow technology companies to"expand the range of internet services available to Iranians," Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said. "The great demonstration of the Iranian people condemning the conspirators and the sacrileges against religion took place today," Iran's Mehr news agency said.
They also shouted"Death to America" and"Death to Israel", common slogans the country's clerical rulers use to try and stir up support for authorities.Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi also warned"seditionists" that their"dream of defeating religious values and the great achievements of the revolution will never be realised".
