Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last shah of Iran, has called for more mass action over the weekend after nearly two weeks of street protests against the government and the dire economic situation. Follow DW.

The death toll from the violence surrounding the nationwide protests in Iran has risen to at least 116, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, cited by AP.

The rights group said that over 2,600 people have been detained.

Meanwhile, Iran’s state television has reported casualties among the security forces, but has not addressed the deaths of protesters, whom it has labelled “terrorists.”
