Death toll mounts in Iran protests as authorities cut internet access
Iranian demonstrators on Thursday held the the biggest protest so far in nearly two weeks of rallies, as authorities cut internet access and the death toll from a crackdown mounted. Officials say at least 21 people, including security forces, have so far died in the unrest which began with the shutdown of the Tehran bazaar on December 28 after the rial currency plunged to record lows.
