We’re now a getting clearer sense of what’s been happening in Iran since widespread protests began there. The US-based group Human Rights Activists in Iran says it has confirmed that over 3,000 people have been killed during the first twenty days of nationwide demonstrations against the regime. Over 2,000 more have been seriously injured and the number of protesters arrested has risen to over 22,000. Though a government crackdown has quelled the demonstrations in recent days, around the world people have taken to the streets in solidartiy with the protestors. Meanwhile, Iranians living in Germany remain very concerned about the well-being of their loved ones.
