The EU and the UN have condemned the government's blocking of the Internet and telephone lines. Protests are reaching two weeks, with more than 50 demonstrators killed.
The European Union and some of its members, including the UN, have strongly condemned the government's blocking of the Internet and telephony on the thirteenth day of Iran's protests.
Thousands of people, now incommunicado, are protesting against the country's economic situationand against Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dira . Connections were lost on Thursday afternoon and, without social networks, messaging apps or websites, it is difficult to access information about the protests that took place on 28 December in several cities across the country.
The NGO Iran Human Rights, based in Oslo, Norway, has reported51 deaths in the protests.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has denounced restrictions on Internet access after being criticized by the Iranian embassy in Belgium. The embassy described the European Union's policy as "hypocritical" for supporting the demonstrators.
On the other hand, theUN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk , has called for a "rapid" and "transparent" investigation of all deaths in mass protests in Iran.
In a joint statement, French President Emmanuel Macron , German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer strongly condemned the "murder" of Iranian demonstrators and called for "restraint" from the authorities in Tehran.
Earlier this Friday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responded to US President Donald Trump in a public television message warning that Washington will "come to the rescue" of Iranian citizens if the regime, "as usual," violently shoots and kills peaceful protesters. "
"Trump must focus on governing his country, if he is capable of it; the US must face many internal problems," Khamenei recommended.
Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's last sha, encouraged Iranian citizens to continue the protest and urged Donald Trump to be "ready" to "intervene" in the country and "help" the Iranian people.
