Verified record

How many were killed, and how

A dated casualty tracker, the roster of documented public hangings, and the record of the strikes on the Islamic Republic — all sourced and updated.

Open the death toll tracker

Why these three: named detainees are safer when foreign parliamentarians ask about them by name; regime embassies in Europe are used to surveil and threaten exiles; and the IRGC still operates legally in the UK. See the wider action guide →

Evin prison in Tehran, where many of Iran's political prisoners are held Campaign 01

Detainee advocacy

European Parliament · one named case

Email members of the European Parliament to advocate for individual detainees in Iran. Select a case and the tool contacts the officials assigned to that person.

Political prisoners in Evin, Qarchak and Ghezel Hesar are far harder to execute quietly once a foreign parliamentarian has written their name into the record. This is the single highest-leverage action for an individual life.

Expel Islamic Republic ambassadors

European governments · diplomatic pressure

Demand the immediate expulsion of the Islamic Republic regime's diplomatic representatives from European nations.

Regime embassies in Europe have been repeatedly documented monitoring protests, photographing demonstrators and pressuring their families inside Iran. Expulsion removes the infrastructure of transnational repression, not just its symbolism.

Protesters gathered in Parliament Square, London, calling for the IRGC to be proscribed Campaign 03

UK IRGC proscription

United Kingdom · terrorist designation

Urge UK decision-makers to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

The IRGC commands the units responsible for the crackdowns documented across this site, and UK security services have publicly reported plots on British soil. Proscription would criminalise its fundraising, recruitment and support networks in the UK.

How to make the letter land.

  1. Use a name, a date and a source. Offices act on specifics. Take them from the victims database, the public hangings roster or the death toll tracker.
  2. Ask for one thing. One detainee, one expulsion, one designation — a letter with four asks gets a form reply.
  3. Say where you live. Representatives count constituents, not petitions.
  4. Follow up. A second email two weeks later outperforms a hundred one-off signatures.
