Iranians protest outside UN office in Chile

Protesters gathered outside the United Nations building in Chile's capital on Friday as they demonstrated against the crackdown on protests in Iran.

Demonstrators chanted slogans and placed pictures outside the building in Santiago of people they said had been arrested during protests in Iran.

The protests in Iran, sparked by the September 16 death of a 22-year-old woman after her detention by the country's morality police, have grown into one of the largest sustained challenges to the nation's theocracy since the chaotic months after its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

At least 328 people have been killed and 14,825 others arrested in the unrest, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that's been monitoring the protests over their 54 days.

Iran's government for weeks has remained silent on casualty figures while state media counterfactually claims security forces have killed no one.
