Iranian security forces have reportedly used lethal force against unarmed civilians during nationwide protests. At the same time, authorities have imposed a full internet blackout, preventing families from contacting loved ones and blocking the documentation of human rights abuses. The UK must act to defend human rights and protect civilians.
