At least 106 people have been killed across Iran since widespread protests erupted five days ago, Amnesty International said Tuesday.
"The organization believes that the real death toll may be much higher, with some reports suggesting as many as 200 have been killed," Amnesty said in a statement.
At least 1,000 people have reportedly been arrested and the Kayhan newspaper, which is close to hardliners, suggested Tuesday that some protest leaders could be executed.
Unrest in Iran began on Friday after the government announced a hike in the price of subsidized gasoline.
