Iranian officials announced official information about the victims of the mass protest demonstrations, stating that 3,117 people were killed. Euronews reported on this, citing the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs.
2,427 of those killed were civilians and security force personnel. No information was provided about the rest.
It is emphasized that these figures are significantly lower than the estimates provided by human rights organizations. For example, the US-based HRANA (Human Rights Activists) agency reported at least 4,902 victims, while Reuters' source among Iranian officials stated on January 18 that there were "confirmed" 5,000 victims, emphasizing that this number could "increase noticeably."
