Death toll rises as Iran's security forces clash with protesters

In Iran, protests that broke out on December 28th over the soaring cost of living look set to continue. Security forces fired tear gas at demonstrators in Tehran's Grand Bazaar on January 6: without giving numbers, Iran's IRNA news agency said 'some' people were arrested. It comes amid mounting concern about Tehran's crackdown on protesters, with activists saying at least several dozens have been killed so far.
