Protesters Die In Ongoing Crackdown On Iran's Kurdish Region

More anti-government protesters have been killed in Iran as state security forces continued their deadly crackdown on nationwide demonstrations. The Norway-registered Hengaw Organization for Human Rights said at least seven people were killed in Iran's Kurdish region on October 12. Protests erupted almost four weeks ago over the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained over an alleged Islamic dress-code violation.
