In Iran, protests spurred by the crackdown have led to significant losses. The story of Mariam and her husband Reza is notable, as Mariam was shot while returning from a protest. Reza carried her for an hour and a half until they found shelter. It is estimated that at least 2,400 protesters, including children, have lost their lives. The situation is challenging due to internet shutdowns and a lack of information.
