The organisation said 5777 of these victims were protesters and 49 were non-protesters or civilians.
They estimate 86 children have died, and 214 people associated with government forces have also been killed since authorities cracked down harshly on unrest at the end of last month.
HRANA claims it is investigating more than 17,000 potential deaths.
“Widespread internet disruptions and shutdowns have remained one of the government’s main tools for restricting the flow of information and reducing protesters’ ability to organise,” it said.
“This situation has effectively caused serious disruption to citizens’ access to information, communication with family members, online services, and independent media.”
Government sources claim that the death toll is only just over 3000, 2427 of which are civilians and security forces.
They have labelled the rest “terrorists”.
In the past, Iran’s theocracy has undercounted or not reported fatalities from unrest.
That death toll exceeds that of any other round of protest or unrest there in decades, and recalls the chaos surrounding Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
