Iran curbs internet access as protests claim more lives

PARIS: Iran restricted internet access on Thursday after days of protests and unrest that have claimed at least 11 lives, following the death of a young woman in the custody of its morality police.

Public anger has flared in the Islamic republic over the death last week of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained for allegedly wearing a hijab headscarf in an 'improper' way.
