And when people are arrested and they're tried in court, their punishment is so much more severe, it can even entail the death penalty.
So whether or not Trump intervenes on behalf of Iranian protesters, time will tell.
Yeah, one thing that Iranian activists have also called for is increased Internet access.
We've had a weeks-long, almost total Internet blackout in Iran, which means...
Both that is very difficult for outsiders like us to get any sort of good transparency into the scope, the extent of the crackdown on protesters, where the protests are taking place, how big they are, etc.
But it also makes it difficult for the demonstrators themselves to...
to coordinate and be in touch.
And this is a tactic we've seen Iranian security forces, the Iranian government take in the past as well.
Some analysts will say that a solution to this would be for Western governments and the private sector to come together and improve internet access for Iranians.
And Starlink has made moves to do this.
So that's one approach they could take.
You also have analysts saying that European governments, for example, should continue monitoring the human rights situation, continue spreading awareness of what's actually happening on the ground, providing refuge for those Iranians who might have to flee the country.
But those things don't change the fundamental dynamic on the ground, which is that currently you have a security establishment which is heavily armed and clearly not responsible
reluctant to kill its own people.
And you have mostly unarmed population rising up against them, being killed in very large numbers, larger numbers than we've seen in any public protest in Iran in the past.
We've surpassed several thousand deaths in Iran now, according to some of the most reliable estimates that we get.
Very welcome.
