Iran shut down a newspaper after it published an expert’s opinion that the country’s true death toll could be 20 times greater than what is being reported.

Authorities closed down the Jahan-e Sanat newspaper after it quoted Iranian epidemiologist Mohammad Reza Mahboubfar, who accused the government of working to cover up actual statistics about total coronavirus infections and deaths, on Sunday. Mahboubfar called the Health Ministry numbers “engineered statistics,” according to the Associated Press.
