"Calls are growing inside Iran for an independent inquiry into the number of
people killed during recent protests after the government said it would oversee
the publication of the names of the deceased.
The highly unusual government move, announced on Thursday, is designed to head
off claims that crimes against humanity have been committed and that as many as
30,000 Iranians have been killed. Iran’s official death toll released by the
Martyr’s Foundation is 3,117, including members of the security services.
Iranian reformists said the planned government identification process was not
sufficiently transparent and unlikely to end the dispute about how many people
had been killed."
