Protests over fuel prices sweep Iran
People attend a protest organized by National Council of Resistance of Iran in Germany to support nationwide demonstrations in Iran against the rise in gasoline prices, in Berlin, Germany, on November 17, 2019.
A rise in fuel prices sparked protests across Iran on Friday and through the weekend. In response, the Iranian government shut down the Internet for some 80 million people.
