Human Rights Activist News Agency (HRANA)

The Human Rights Activist News Agency (HRANA) is a US-based organization that reports on human rights issues in Iran. It is currently newsworthy due to its role in verifying the number of deaths and documenting human rights violations during the ongoing anti-government protests in Iran. HRANA's reporting provides crucial information about the scale and severity of the crackdown on protesters, which is otherwise difficult to obtain due to restrictions on media access within Iran. The agency's data is being cited by international news organizations like the BBC, highlighting its importance in providing reliable information amidst the unrest. As the protests continue and international pressure mounts on Iran, HRANA's role in documenting and disseminating information about human rights abuses remains significant.
