Iran’s Guards call for ‘maximum punishment’ of fuel unrest leaders
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has urged the country’s judiciary to mete out harsh sentences to what he described as "mercenaries" involved in protests against a fuel price hike last week, the judiciary’s Mizan news site reported.

"We caught all the mercenaries who openly confessed they were doing mercenary work for America and, God willing, the judicial system of the country will give them maximum punishments," Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, a deputy Guards commander, was quoted as saying.

Amnesty said at least 115 people have died in the unrest. Iran

Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has rejected corpse count figures as "speculative."

Iranian authorities have said about 1,000 demonstrators have been arrested.

The Center for Human Rights in Iran, a New York-based advocacy group, said on its website that a tally based on official figures and credible reports suggested that "a minimum of 2,755 people have been arrested with the actual minimum number likely being closer to 4,000."
