Activists said there were also protests in districts of the capital, Tehran.

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Iran should "immediately stop the violent crackdown on protests and ensure internet access".

Gharahkhani, who was born in Tehran, continued to speak out on Sunday, writing on Twitter: "If my parents had not made the choice to flee in 1987, I would have been one of those fighting in the streets with my life on the line.".

The protests are the largest to sweep the country since demonstrations over fuel prices in 2019, when Reuters reported 1,500 people were killed in a crackdown on protesters - the bloodiest bout of internal unrest in the Islamic Republic's history.

Iran's state television said 41 people have been killed since the protests broke out following Amini's death on Sept 16.

The semi-official Mehr news agency said on Sunday eight members of the Basij, a militia under the umbrella of the Revolutionary Guards, were among the dead.

The Iranian human rights group Hengaw posted a video on Twitter purportedly showing protests late on Sunday in Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan province, with chants of "Death to Khamenei".

Activist Twitter account 1500tasvir posted videos it said showed protests on Sunday in western and eastern districts of Tehran.

Iranian television showed thousands of people rallying in Tehran on Sunday in support of authorities and chanting slogans against the United States and opposition groups they accused of insulting the Koran.

Bahrain's gross domestic product grew 6.9% year on year in the second quarter of 2022, posting the biggest annual increase since 2011, Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa said on Twitter on Sunday.
