Iranian state television aired a video apparently showing that calm had returned to Tehran’s Evin prison on Sunday after a fire broke out there overnight, as unrest sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody last month.

Rights groups said at least 240 protesters had been killed in the anti-government protests, including 32 minors. Over 8 000 people had been arrested in 111 cities and towns, Iranian activist news agency HRANA said on Saturday. The protests have attracted international condemnation, with the United States, Canada and some European countries imposing sanctions on Iranian officials and organisations “involved in the clampdown on protesters”.

State news agency IRNA said on Saturday eight people were injured in the fire at the Evin prison. But the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Sunday that “no exact official figure of those injured or possible casualties have been published yet”.
