Iran protest crackdown raises death tally to 75

PARIS: More than 75 people have died in Iran's crackdown on 11 nights of unrest sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a rights group says, as Western nations pile pressure on the Islamic republic to end the violence.

Iranian authorities have kept the official death toll at 41 since Saturday — those killed included several members of the security forces — as the West Asian country is rocked by its biggest wave of protests in almost three years.
