Over 3,000 killed in Iran protests as internet partially restored, rights groups say

More than 3,000 people have been killed in Iran’s nationwide protests, activists say, as authorities ease internet blackouts after days of repression.

Human rights activists say more than 3,000 people have been killed in nationwide protests in Iran, as internet access returned only partially after eight days offline.
