About this memorial

A chronological list of named people killed by Iranian state agents — by police gunfire in the street, by torture in custody, or by judicial execution — since the September 2022 death of Mahsa Amini. This list is not complete. Iran Human Rights and HRANA together have documented over 42,000 protester deaths since late December 2025 alone; only a small share have been identified by name. We add entries as identities are independently confirmed.

Total entries on this page: 27. Machine-readable: /data/victims.json.
