For over two weeks, demonstrations rocked Iran and, according to a human rights group, more than 2,600 protesters have been killed.

Protesters have been met with deadly force by authorities, masked by a near total shutdown of the internet and communication services.

Reporting from the Iranian-Armenian border, the BBC’s Middle East correspondent, Hugo Bachega, described the “anger and frustration” of Iranians and their concerns over the future.

“People are simply terrified to join the demonstrations,” he added.

The Iranian government has called the protests “riots” backed by Iran’s enemies.

The demonstrations started over the economy on 28 December and turned into calls for the end of the rule of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei.
