Casualties Of The Iranian Revolution

Observers differ on how many people died during the Iranian Revolution. The number of casualties suffered by protesters and revolutionaries at the hands of the Shah's regime during the revolution is either close to 60,000, or around 3000, depending on whether the estimates used are those of Islamic government or from historians in Western countries. The number of protesters and political prisoners killed by the new Islamic regime after the fall of the Shah is estimated by human rights groups to be several thousand.
