At least 185 people have been killed amid unrest in Iran, a human rights group said, following the death of a young woman in police custody, which has sparked protests across the country.
Nineteen children are among the dead, Norway-based Iran Human Rights group reported.
The protests have become the biggest challenges to Iran’s clerical leaders in years, with demonstrators calling for the downfall of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Despite the fierce crackdown by authorities, protesters remain undeterred.

They have also denied accusations that live bullets have been used.

The unrest was sparked after Mahsa Amini died in police custody.
