We are learning more about some of those killed in recent days as protests rock Iran.
The internet blackout has been extended into a fifth day, but several details have emerged, often through human rights groups with ties to the country.
Norway-based human rights group Hengau said the dead included a sculptor from the eastern city of Mashhad.
Citing a report he received, Hengo said Mehdi Sarashur, a married father of two, was killed when security forces fired live ammunition at protesters.
Hengo said that in addition to his own art, Salashur was also a sculpture instructor and ran a stone carving studio.
Last week, two female Tehran University students were killed by government forces during a public protest in the capital.
Hengo reported that 21-year-old medical student Aida Heidari and 19-year-old Italian language student Zahra Barolipour were killed by direct gunfire from government forces.
Protests have been reported in many cities in all 31 Iranian provinces.
In a sign of how widespread the protests have become, protesters were also reportedly killed on Qeshm Island in the country’s far south, near the Strait of Hormuz.
One of them, Ako Mohammadi, was a 22-year-old Kurdish man from Saras Babajani in the northwest of the country. Hengor said he was shot dead by government forces during a protest in the city of Qeshm in the eastern part of the island.
A Norway-based human rights organization said, citing “informed sources”, that Iranian authorities had demanded money for the return of his body.
