Reuters is reporting that state-run Iranian media claim that seven people have been killed in demonstrations and protests since Friday’s election.

I can’t find an English translation on their Website — which has a lot of alarming information about detention conditions in Iran translated into English — so if you read Farsi, please alert me to any mistakes in this post, or email me with a full translation.
