A hard-line newspaper in Iran is suggesting that those who led violent protests will be executed by hanging as the unrest continues.
This photo released by the Iranian Students' News Agency, ISNA, shows a gas station that was burned during protests that followed authorities' decision to raise gasoline prices, in Tehran, Iran, Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An article published Tuesday in the Keyhan newspaper made the claim, though Iranian authorities still have not offered a detailed accounting of the toll of the demonstrations that began Friday over government-set gasoline prices rising. The newspaper said: “Some reports say that judiciary considers execution by hanging for the riot leaders a definite punishment.”The protests appeared to be ongoing on Tuesday in some areas of the country, though the streets of Tehran appeared largely calm.
It remains difficult to know the scale of the demonstrations. Iran shut down the internet Saturday, stopping protesters from sharing information and their videos online.
