Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000: Local Officials
According to two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health who spoke with TIME.time.com
"The government’s internal count of the dead, not previously revealed, far surpasses the toll of 3,117 announced on Jan. 21 by regime hardliners who report directly to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. (Ministries report to the elected President.)
"The 30,000 figure is also far beyond tallies being compiled by activists methodically assigning names to the dead.
"As of Saturday, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said it had confirmed 5,459 deaths and is investigating 17,031 more."
