Thirty-Two Dead in Iran?

Reuters is reporting that state-run Iranian media claim that seven people have been killed in demonstrations and protests since Friday’s election. But my understanding is that this press release from a consortium of Iranian human rights activists claims to have confirmed 32 deaths due to regime crackdowns on protests taking place June 14 and 15. 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.
