The Iranian government is a repressive band of authoritarians, and to claim so isn't American propaganda or inflated bullshit. Iranians have repeatedly stood up against them because they're being oppressed as they had been under the shah. Now, the exact number is infinitely hard to pinpoint because of limited information trickling out of the country like @[email protected] said, but that's a separate issue. The Iranian authorities themselves admit to a few thousand, and it's not far-fetched that they underestimate the number.
