amnesty: A little over two weeks ago, protests were sparked by eyewatering gas price hikes, and morphed into nationwide anti-government demonstrations, according to CNN. The government acted quickly, pulling the plug on the internet and unleashing what Amnesty International described as a bloody clampdown. Rarely, however, has the government's response seemed quite as brutal as this. The human rights organization estimated Monday that at least 208 protesters had been killed in 21 cities, citing credible reports. Iran has claimed 'victory' after protests. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign affairs did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the Amnesty report.
