Iranian authorities blocked the internet two days ago as protests continue for the third day in the city of Bab Hani (Bahbahan) and Mohammara as well as in more than 60 other cities.
The protests began shortly after Iranian authorities announced a three-fold increase in fuel prices, angering people who have been impoverished and deprived for decades in Iran.
According to the organization's sources, the spark of the protests started from the city of Bab Hani and then the city of Mohammara to spread to more than 60 cities across Iran where dozens of demonstrators killed and injured.
Hundreds of protestors mostly from the Kurdish ,Ahwazi and Balochi cities were arrested during the protests and taken to unknown places.
Crowds in Ahwaz chant,”Don't be afraid, we are together”
