JAKARTA - The number of deaths due to protests in Iran has risen to 5,002, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).

Dilansir ANTARA dari Anadolu, Jumat, 23 Januari, dari data yang dikumpulkan organisasi tersebut, sebanyak 26.752 orang ditangkap hingga hari ke-26 protes nasional di negara itu dan 7.391 orang mengalami luka parah selama protes, menurut laporan tersebut.

Iran has been rocked by a wave of protests since last month, starting on December 28 in Tehran's Grand Bazaar, triggered by a sharp depreciation of the Iranian rial and worsening economic conditions.

The demonstration then spread to several other cities.

Iranian officials have accused the US and Israel of backing what they call "armed rioters," who have carried out several attacks on public places across the country.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to "crack down" if protesters are killed, but later praised Tehran for reportedly scrapping hundreds of scheduled executions.
