Woman, life, freedom; Comprehensive report of 20 days of protest across Iran

HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists – Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old young woman, was arrested by the morality police for the crime of improper hijab. Her arrest and death in detention fueled nationwide protests in Iran. Protesters came to the streets with the central slogan “Women, Life, Freedom” in protest against the performance, laws and structure of the regime. The following 209-page report is dedicated to the statistical review, analysis, and summary of the first twenty days of the ongoing protests (September 17 to October 5, 2022). In this report, in addition to the geographic analysis and the presentation of maps and charts, the identity of 200 deceased, including 18 children and teenagers, an estimated of 5,500 arrested along with the identity of 563 arrested citizens, 123 students and 36 journalists or activists in the field of information is compiled. In addition the report includes a complete collection of 698 verified video reports by date and topic. The report examines protests across 342 documented gatherings in all 31 provinces of the country, including 105 cities and 68 universities.

Summary

Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old young woman from Saqqez, Kurdistan who had traveled to Tehran on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, was taken into custody by several Moral Security Police officers at the Haqqani metro station in Tehran charged with not observing the strict Islamic dress code and was taken to the detention center of this organization known as Vozara.
Shortly after her arrest, her partially alive body was transferred to the intensive care unit of Kasra Hospital, she was admitted in a coma with level three consciousness.
Given the atrocious track record of the police force in mistreating the accused and previous incidents that were similar to this, public opinion reacted acutely to this situation because there was the widespread perception that this young girl was beaten in the Vozara detention center.

The widespread street protests against this incident were set off from the time Mahsa Amini was announced, in front of Kasra Hospital on Argentina Street in Tehran, and then quickly spread to the streets despite the intimidating presence of Iran’s security apparatus. The protests after Mahsa’s burial in a Saqqez cemetery, intensified whereby after twenty days of nationwide protests, they spread all of Iran’s 31 provinces, 105 cities, and 69 major universities.
The protests were not limited to Ms. Amini’s death and quickly targeted the Iranian government’s political and ideological foundations. These protests were violently quashed by the anti-riot police and Iran’s militia force (baseej) through the use of teargas, pellets, and live ammunition. This widespread crackdown has led to the death of dozens of people and the wounding of hundreds of protestors.
Despite the severe communication restrictions imposed by the Iranian government, the following report summarizes the twenty days of protests between September 17, to October 5, 2022. The protests that at the time of this report are still going on in various forms. They are not necessarily in the form of street protests, but they manifest themselves in a variety of individual and collective actions.

Unique Features of These Protests

These protests reviewed in this report have unique characteristics that differentiate them from the protests of the last decade in Iran and are at times unprecedented in the life of the Islamic Republic.
• Contrary to most of the protests in recent years, this recent protest was not based on economic or environmental grievances. Instead, political, and human rights demands were at the center of it.
• These protests were triggered by the death of a young, Kurdish and Sunni woman. Being female, Kurdish and of Sunni faith are all grounds for discrimination in Iran for her being a woman, being a Kurd, and being a Sunni was attributed to oppressed groups and subjected to gender, ethnic, and religious discrimination. Yet, the Iranian public showed a united front and disregarded all these categories that tend to divide people and instead displayed that collectively they can take a positive step forward.
• The Iranian youth, whose average age has now reached 15 years of age, according to law enforcement officials, has played a key role in these protests.
• An unprecedented solidarity has been formed between Iranians inside Iran and those in the diaspora.
• These protests put almost all classes of Iranian society into one unified group of people in support of the protesters. The urban middle class alongside the lower or upper classes in small and large urban areas, different ethnic groups, religious minorities, sexual minorities, and trade groups including teachers, laborers, students, professors, artists, and athletes were integral to this united front. In these protests, we witnessed different businesses showing solidarity with the protesters by going on strikes.
• In terms of continuity, these protests can be considered among the longest continuous protests since the inception of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
• Because of the substantive and progressive demands of these protesters, the international community, especially celebrities in the fields of the arts, culture, and politics, became the voice of the Iranian people in an unprecedented way, and by disseminating information and taking various actions, they have attention to what is going on in Iran.
• The demands of the protesters, which centered on the issue of women’s rights, have indicated that Iran has a progressive and assertive society.
• One of the distinguishing features of these protests from the previous ones was unarmed protesters routinely confronting the security forces. There have been many scenes of protestors showing solidarity as they came together to prevent people from being taken into custody or by standing in front of the police who were equipped with full anti-riot gear. Public anger over the operation of the Moral Security Police and decades of meddling by this force in the most personal areas of women’s lives was also a great motivating factor for the protestors to resist being subjugated by Iran’s security apparatus.
• In addition to the street protests, there was cyber warfare going on between the opponents and supporters of the status quo. Numerous government sites were hacked, and the global solidarity propelled Mahsa Amini’s hashtag, which became the first in the history of Twitter to record more than 300 million tweets.
• The government of Iran this time around gave more latitude to Faraja (Iran’s main law enforcement agency) and their rank and file to spearhead the repression of the street protests. The government also adopted alternative methods regarding the Internet (e.g., reducing its speed rather than cutting it off as we as filtering certain sites). Also, after the death of an army officer, it became clear that the Iranian army also played a role in suppressing protests, which is considered a rare event.
• The media close to Iran’s security apparatus tried to cover the protests in their own way by sending their reporters to the streets to present the news in a slanted way that is favorable to the government. These reporters continuously have provided the latest from street clashes between the protesters and security forces.
• These protests, which have lacked leadership and command-and-control, have shown that Iranian society, especially its younger generation, is determined to attain their basic human rights.

The Protests

At the time when Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi spoke about human rights in his annual speech at the UN General Assembly, Iranian protesters took to the streets to speak out against police brutality and discriminatory religious laws against women in Iranian society.
On September 17, the first sparks of these protests took place in Tehran, Sanandaj and Saqqez. Then the protests quickly reached other cities and different social groups and classes.
Thirty-one provinces, in other words, Iran’s all provinces, were the scenes of protests from September 17 to October 5, 2022.
In the 20 days of protests that are reviewed in this report, a total of 105 cities from Iran’s all 31 provinces became the scene of protests up to 266 times. If there were instances when the protesters could not find their way to the street, that was due to tight security measures in the area.
In addition to 226 instances of street protests, there were 76 protests on 69 university campuses.
The cities where protesters appeared in the streets during a week of protest have been verified by HRANA as follows:

Conclusion

Three weeks after Mehsa (Zhina) Amini’s death, Iran’s Medical Forensic Organization, published its pathology tests showing her “death was not caused by blows to the head or any vital organs and parts of the body.”
In the statement of the coroner’s office, it is stated: “Based on hospital medical documents, the investigation of C. T-scan of the brain and lungs, the results of the physical examination of the body and autopsy, pathology tests, Mahsa’s death was not caused by strikes to the head and the vital organs and other parts of the body.”
The Iranian coroner’s office added that due to the “underlying illness” of Mahsa Amini, “she did not have the necessary ability to compensate and adapt to the situation, therefore, under the circumstance, she suffered from a heart rhythm disorder and a drop in blood pressure, and subsequently, a decrease in the level of consciousness, which due to the ineffective cardio-respiratory resuscitation in the first critical minutes, she suffered severe hypoxia resulting in brain damage.”
In its statement, this government body claimed that “despite the return of cardiac function following the resuscitation of the emergency personnel, the respiratory support did not work” and despite being transferred to the hospital “she passes away on September 16 due to multi-organ failure (M.O.F) caused by cerebral hypoxia.”
In response to this statement, Saleh Nikbakht, the lawyer for the Amini family, told the media that the medical examiner’s claim that Mahsa Amini’s death was caused by a glandular surgery that was performed on her when she was eight is baseless because the same surgeon who performed the surgery has said it cannot be the cause of her death. Other neurologists have refuted this too.
Mr. Nikbakht also called Mahsa Amini’s “instant death” and the attempt to link it with “her childhood surgery or taking thyroid pills” nonsense and said how is it possible that Mahsa Amini, who “has not had any physical issues for 15 years, after being taken into custody by the Morality Police and spending an hour and a half at their headquarters, suddenly has a stroke, heart, and kidney failure and loses ninety-eight percent of her vital signs.”
According to the lawyer of the Amini family, Mahsa Amini’s case “is in the investigation stage and has not yet been filed with the court.”
These protests, besides the cost in blood they had for the protesters, have cost the human rights violators dearly as well.
There have been spontaneous collective actions by the protesters to identify human rights violators and agents of repression. There have been orchestrated attempts such as the Spreading Justice as well, which aims at identifying human rights violators using digital tools and by following up on the information received. Spreading Justice uses the information they receive to incur costs for human rights violators.
A number of Western countries have approved new human rights sanctions against Iran.
In the latest action, the US Treasury Department sanctioned seven officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran for cutting off the Internet and suppressing protesters during protest rallies.
Ahmad Vahidi, Minister of the Interior, Issa Zarepour, Minister of Communications, Hossein Sajdinia, Deputy of Faraja (law enforcement) Operations, Yadullah Javani, Political Deputy of the Revolutionary Guards, Vahid Majid, Chief of Fata (a force that fights cyber-crimes) Police, Hossein Nejat, Commander of Tharullah Camp, and Hossein Rahimi, Chief of Tehran Police, are listed as human rights violators. Sanctions have been imposed.
The U.S. Treasury Department had previously slapped sanctions on Iran’s Moral Security Police and a number of human rights violators such as Seyed Ismaeel Khatib, the Minister of Information, Manouchehr Amanollahi, the police commander of Kermanshah province, Salar Abnoush, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Kyomars Heydari, the commander of the ground forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Haj Ahmed Mirzaei, the former head of Tehran’s Moral Security Police, Mohammad Rostami Cheshme Gachi, the police chief of Minab city, and Qasem Rezaei.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Canada also announced sanctions against the Moral Security Police, the Cyber Defense Command of the Revolutionary Guards, Evin Prison, and a number of Iranian figures known for taking part in widespread human rights violations, namely Mohammad Hassan Bagheri, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic, Hossein Salami, Commander The General of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Ismail Qaani, Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Saleh Hashemi Golpaigani, the Secretary of the Commanding Good and Prohibiting Evil, Ismail Khatib, the Minister of Information, Mohammad Rostami, the Chief of the Moral Security Police.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Canada also called the Moral Security Police, the Cyber Defense Command of the Revolutionary Guards, Evin Prison and a number of Iranian figures known for participating in widespread human rights violations, namely Mohammad Hassan Bagheri, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic, Hossein Salami, Commander The General of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Ismail Qaani, Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Saleh Hashemi Golpaigani, the Secretary of the Command for Good and Prohibition of Evil, Ismail Khatib, the Minister of Information, Mohammad Rostami, the Chief of the Moral Security Police, sanctioned.
Also, in the first days of the protests, six member states of the European Union, including Germany, France, Denmark, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic, proposed new sanctions against the Islamic Republic. The proposed sanctions will cover 16 individuals, organizations, and institutions in Iran that have played key roles in suppressing the protesters.

Disruption in Internet Access

Disruption in the Internet and mobile communication networks was detected from the first days of the recent protests.
From September 20, 2022, Internet disruptions reached its peak, especially in Kurdistan and other protest hotbeds.
The cities of Saqqez, Sanandaj, Tehran, Mahabad, Ahvaz, Baneh, Bukan, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Arak, Mashhad, Marivan, Paveh, Bijar, Qorveh, Kamiyaran, Dehgolan, Sarovabad, Diwandara, Urmia, Rasht, Shahinshahr, Karaj, Piranshahr, Sardasht, Shiraz, Chabahar, Shahin Dej, Takab, Rabat, Ashnavieh, Langrood and Amlesh experienced the most cases of Internet disruptions until September 30, 2022.
There are several reports that indicate that in a number of cities in the country, the speed of the Internet diminished from 12 noon to 4p.m., and then from 4p.m. to 12 midnight, the reduction in the speed of home Internet doubled. And mobile Internet was also completely cut off in that period.
In addition, the review of Internet Outage Detection (IODA) data, which reviews Internet traffic around the world, indicates that the 10 provinces that face the most interruptions and disruptions of the internet are: Hormozgan, Fars, Isfahan, Ilam, Qom, Semnan, Tehran, Qazvin, Mazandaran, and Golestan.
From September 29, when the communication disruption took a nationwide form, platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Skype, App Store, Google Play, Clash of Clans, LinkedIn, and Viber were filtered.
In the wake of Internet disruptions, the amount of Internet usage in Iran diminished by 67 percent and also mobile communication networks, including First Mobile, Irancell, and Rightel, suffered constant disruptions.
Also, the Axios News site reported a 3,000 percent increase in the demand for and download of Virtual Private Networks (VPN) in the country.
In the first days of the nationwide protests, Elon Musk, the owner of Starlink, promised satellite Internet for all Iranians. After his comment, the site of Mr. Musk’s company was filtered in Iran.
Also, the text messages containing Mahsa Amini’s name were filtered and blocked by the Hamrahe Aval Telecommunication Network.
During this period, various human rights groups issued statements and expressed their concern about the Internet shutdown in Iran and its repercussions.
On Monday, September 24, the Tejarat News Web site reported in a news story that after reviewing the economic consequences of the internet outage in Iran it concluded that the livelihoods of about 10 million Iranians are in jeopardy just because of the lack of access to Instagram. However, Issa Zarepour, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology announced the establishment of new filters indefinitely.
According to many experts, many online businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy, and eight hours of daily Internet outage has caused a lot of financial hardship to Iranian economy.
Hamshahri newspaper reported in a news story that nine million Iranian citizens who have chosen Instagram as their preferred method to do business have faced serious challenges after the regime began filtering Instagram.

Human and Financial Losses

A large number of protesters and security forces were killed and wounded during the twenty days of the nationwide protests.
There was also a lot of damage to government and private property.

Violence

During the nationwide protests, in addition to the dead, scores of citizens across the country were injured in various ways. According to news reports, these injuries are caused by beatings with batons, electric shocks, or because of the use of weapons such as pepper spray, tear gas, pellets, or plastic bullets, and in some cases, weapons of war, especially handguns.
According to news reports, military forces have used ambulances and city buses to move their forces around in urban areas. Protesters’ defensive actions, as a result, have caused damage to around 60 ambulances in the country. In addition, law enforcement agencies have also used city schools as bases to store their gear and equipment in preparation to confront the protesters. Consequently, these places have sustained damage to their structure during clashes. The mayor of Tehran has also claimed that 43 city buses, 54 bus stations, and 25 fire engines have sustained damage in the city.
Many pictures and videos published on social networks, as well as news reports that have been shared with HRANA, indicate the frequent use of handguns by law enforcement to quell the protests.
A major part of the anti-riot police deployed during the protests is coming from the ranks of the Islamic Republic Police Command (Faraja), of which the special unit (Yegan Vijeh) is the main component.
The Basij force, along with the police, was one of the main bodies to suppress the protesters during the unrest in this period, and it seems that the most casualties sustained by government law enforcement were also from this group.
The unregulated use of shotguns with pellets by law enforcement has resulted in the injury of many protesters.
These forces have tried to use firearms against elderly people, protesting teenagers or even children present during the protests. In some cases, firearms have resulted in serious injury to the eyes of these protesters. Some have lost complete eyesight.
In addition, according to the reports received by HRANA, during the last few days, hundreds of arrested protestors have been transferred to Qarchak, Varamin, Tehran, Vakil Abad, Ilam, Evin and other prisons in the country.

Media outlets that are close to the government have claimed, however, that many of the personnel in the Baseej and law enforcement have been injured in the protests. This claim is not, however, consistent with the available evidence. The heavy hand of the forces deployed against the protesters makes this less plausible.
Iran’s official media claimed the Iranian economy suffered damages to the tune of 800 or 100 billion tomans (the Iranian currency) due to the recent protests and strikes. Officials have claimed 460 bank branches and ATMs, and 61 ambulances were damaged. That bank shareholders have also lost tens of billions of tomans. In addition, the four-day closure of shops in 80 cities in the country, the destruction of 70 bus stations, 100 buses, 30 fire engines, and 15 police cars have all been damaging to public services.
As usual, the Iran security apparatus tried to deny responsibility for the violence and damage to property and places and pin the blame on the protesters by publishing reports including coerced confessions from the detainees. However, pictures of security forces destroying houses and the personal property of citizens have been published on social networks.

The Fatalities in the Protests

HRANA has divided the information about the fatalities in the 20-day protests into three categories.
The first group is 200 people whose identities have been received by the HRANA News Agency. Verification of this batch is in progress. So far, the verification of the death of 31 people from this list has been directly verified and confirmed by HRANA, and other information is being investigated at the time of publication of this report.
Among the identities under investigation, 7% are women, and also among the 43 identities whose exact or relative age has been determined, 29% are people who were less than 18 years old.

Child victims

Following are the names of some of the victims of younger than 18 years old: Zakaria Khial (16 years old), Amin Maroufi (16 years old), Amirali Fouladi (16 years old), Parsa Rezadoost (17 years old), Siavash Mahmoudi (16 years old), Nika Shakarami (17 years old), Sarina Esmailzadeh (16 years old), Samer Hashemzehi (16 years old), Amirhossein Basati (15 years old), Mohammad Reza Sarvari (14 years old), Ali Mozaffari Salanghouch (17 years old), Sedis Keshani (14 years old), Javad Pousheh (12 years old), Jaber Shirouzi (12 years old), Amir Mahdi Farkhipour (17 years old), Ehsan Alibazi (16 years old), Omid Safarzahi (17 years old), Nima Shafaqdoost (16 years old),

The second category is remarks or reports made by government officials or government institutions and human rights groups. This category only relies on figures but without mentioning any details and identities. In this category, in two reports from the Fars news agency, as well as a statements from the Friday Prayer Imam of the Sunni community in Zahedan, there are 100 fatalities as the minimum number from reliable statistics.

The third category is the security forces or plainclothes agents who have been killed during the protests, and their deaths have been confirmed and announced by the media close to the security apparatus.

Reactions

Following the arrest and death of Mahsa (Jhina) Amini and then the beginning and continuation of protests, some Iranian and international political figures and activists, artists and public figures did not remain silent. The following is a brief mention of these supports.

Non-governmental Political Figures in Iran

Masoumeh Ebtekar, former President Hassan Rouhani’s vice president for women and family affairs, called the surveillance video attributed to Mahsa Amini in the Vozara Detention Centre released by the police as truncated and said that this video has raised more questions. Sayyid Mohammad Khatami, the fifth president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, called the death of Mehsa Amini an “unfortunate tragedy.”
Many Iranian political figures living inside the country, such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ali Motahari, Ahmad Montazeri, Zahra Rahnavard, Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, Mahmoud Sadeghi, Mohammad Reza Aref, Fatemeh Hashemi Rafsanjani, Azar Mansouri, Jalal Mirzaei, Ali Shakuri Rad, Ayatollah Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad, Abbas Abdi, Abolfazl Qadiani, Hamid Rasaei and other figures like Jafar Kosha, (president of Iranian Bar Association), Farshid Gurbanpour (journalist), Abdul Samad Khorramshahi (lawyer), Nasrin Sotoudeh (lawyer) and Maulvi Abdul Ghaffar Naqshbandi (a figure for Sunni people in Iran in Iran and the Imam of Friday prays at Rask Mosque) reacted to the mentioned events in the country through publishing a message. Grand Ayatollah Asadollah Bayat-Zanjani, a senior cleric, also vocally criticized the “morality police” (Ghashte-e-Ershad) and described it as illegal, illegitimate and irrational, as well as against religion.
Furthermore, several professors at the Sharif University of Technology went on strike in response to the arrest of students. Shahram Khazaei, Sohrab Rahwar, Ali Ghazizadeh, Mehrzadpour Mohammad Namvar, Alireza Moazezi Tehrani, Siros Askari, Alireza Bahreini, Zahra Kaveh Vash and Ali Sharifi Zarchi are nine of the professors of Sharif University of Technology who, while emphasizing that “until the release of students Detainees will not hold classes,” went on strike.
Dara Moazzami (professor of Technical faculty of Tehran University), Keyvan Sarreshteh, Milad Shajareh, Maham Miqani, Hamidreza Paasvar and Mozhgan Khaleghi (visiting professors of faculty of Performing Arts of Tehran University of Fine Arts Campus), Nasrullah Hekmat (professor of department of Philosophy at Shahid Beheshti University), Negar Zilabi (professor of faculty of Theology at Shahid Beheshti University), Majid Rajabi (professor of the faculty of Mechanics, University of Science and Technology), Morteza Sediq (Professor of the faculty of Architecture, University of Science and Technology), Maryam Kashkulinia (professor of the Visual Arts, faculty of the College of Fine Arts), Pedram Mohammadi (professor of University of Performing Arts), Alireza Mostaghni (head of the faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Arts), Alireza Heydari (member of the faculty of department of Pediatric Dentistry, Tehran University of Medical Sciences), Azin Movahed (member of faculty of Fine Arts, Tehran University) and a group of professors of Tehran University’s music department also announced their strike. Lili Galehdaran, a member of the academic staff of the Dramatic Literature Department of the Shiraz University of Arts, while supporting the nationwide protests, also resigned from her position in protest against the death of Mehsa Amini.
In addition, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahormi, the former intelligence officer who served as the Minister of Information and Communications Technology in the administration of President Hassan Rouhani, reacted to the limitations of the Internet and social media filters by publishing a message on his Telegram channel and wrote: “This way of interacting with cyberspace is definitely wrong. Once burned, twice shy.”
More so, some Iranian and non-Iranian political prisoners and civil activists reacted to the recent events by sending messages and letters from prison. Salimollah Hossein Bar (a political prisoner in Saravan Prison), Leila Hosseinnzadeh (a student activist in the Adil Abad Prison in Shiraz), Hamid Haj Jafar Kashani, Payam Shakiba, Saeed Eqbali and Ali Mousanezhad Farkoush (political prisoners in Rajaei Shahr Prison in Karaj), Sepideh Qolian (political prisoner in Evin Prison), Soheil Yadollahi (political prisoner in Bojnord Prison), Narges Mohammadi, Aliyeh Motallebzadeh, Hasti Amiri, Zhila Makoundi, Sepideh Kashani, Maliheh Jafari, Elnaz Eslami, Mahnaz Tarrah, Nazanin Mohammadnezhad, Raha Asgarizadeh and Golareh Abbasi (political prisoners in Evin Prison) announced their support to the recent protests in Iran by publishing separate messages.

Domestic Political or Civil Groups

Independent labour and teachers unions such as The Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ trade Associations, Teachers’ unions of Tehran, Khuzestan, Bushehr, Fars, Eslamabad-e-Gharb and Kurdistan, The Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company (SWTSBC), The Free Union of Iranian Workers (FUIW), and Union of Scientific Societies of Social Sciences of the country condemned the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by publishing separate statements.
Consultative Assembly of Yarasan Civil Activists, Iranian Retired Council, National Union of Iranian Retired, Tehran Independent Retired Group, House of Cinema and Reform Front also issued separate statements. They all condemned the incident, calling for the disbandment of the morality police and the trial of the commanders and perpetrators of Mahsa Amini’s death.
Furthermore, the Islamic associations of students of Tehran University and Tehran Medical Sciences issued a statement protesting the performance of university security staff in suppressing students. And a group of gender equality and LGBTQI+ activists in Iran reacted to the recent events in Iran by publishing a statement.
As a symbolic act, a weekly magazine in Kermanshah called Sedaye Azadi (Voice of Freedom) also printed its front page in white in protest against what happened to Mahsa Amini.
In the meantime, startups such as Digikala, Snapp!, Flightio, Divar and TAPSI publicly announced their sympathy for the recent events by releasing separate messages.
On the other hand, on Monday, September 26, the Dentistry students at Tabriz University went on strike in protest against the widespread arrest of students. A group of students from “Shaheed Chamran” University in Ahvaz, Bu-Ali Sina University in Hamedan, Sooreh University in Tehran, University of Arts and Pars Architecture in Tehran, K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Allameh Tabataba’i University in Tehran, Tehran National University, Kharazmi University in Tehran, Tabriz National University, the Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, University of Science and Culture in Tehran, “Shahid Beheshti” University in Tehran, Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran, Qazvin International University, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Gilan University, Alzahra University in Tehran and the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences in Tehran by publishing statements protesting the suppression of protests and arresting students and refused to attend classes.
On the same day, the organizing council of oil contract workers’ protests issued a statement in protest against “the killing of people and the repression and harassment of women because of the hijab and the death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Morality Police.” The organization warned the government and stated that “protesting is the inalienable right of us workers and we are the people, and we are protesting against the oppression and repression that has been inflicted on us for more than forty years. We are no longer willing to continue tolerating this slavery and injustice.”
A group of professors at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad also issued a statement calling for an end to any violence.
In addition, by publishing a statement, the Scientific Association of Political Sciences of Tabriz University announced that it will refrain from conducting any scientific activities and hold any educational classes until further notice. The association highlighted that such activities would give students hope that science is alive in this system and make them believe the lie and untruth.
More than 300 Christian-Iranian citizens inside the country also published a statement and announced their solidarity with the nationwide protests, condemning and announcing the suppression of protesting people by the Islamic Republic.
In response to the filtering and restrictions imposed on the Internet in Iran in the last few days, the Tehran E-Commerce Association has issued a statement criticizing these conditions and announced: “The interruption of access to Instagram in Iran has negatively affected more than 400,000 businesses, and the livelihood of more than one million people has faced serious problems.

Human Rights Organizations and Figures

International human rights organizations reacted to Mahsa Amini’s death. In this regard, we can refer to the statement of Amnesty International, which described Mahsa Amini’s death as a suspicious death and that “all agents and responsible officials” in this case should be brought to justice.
Human Rights Activists (in Iran), accompanied by 161 international and regional human rights organizations and women’s rights defenders, announced their solidarity with the protesters in Iran by publishing a statement.

On the other hand, Javaid Rehman, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, condemned the compulsory hijab law in Iran “in the strongest tone.” Prior to that, Mr. Rehman considered the compulsory hijab as a sign of widespread violation of human rights in Iran and demanded the adoption of resolutions by the United Nations Human Rights Council condemning the mandatory hijab in Iran. Reporters without Borders also published an article stating that the country’s authorities have prevented the news coverage of widespread protests following Mahsa Amini’s death.
In addition, acting UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Nada Al-Nashif expressed alarm at the death in custody of Mahsa Amini and the violent response by security forces to ensuing protests. And, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an impartial and effective investigation of the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. “We are increasingly concerned about reports of rising fatalities, including women and children, related to the protests,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Robert Malley, Special Representative of the US Department of State, Jake Sullivan, US National Security Adviser, 21 US Congress Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and French Ministry of Foreign Affairs also separately condemned the mandatory hijab laws in Iran. They demanded that the Iranian government allow the protesters to hold peaceful protests.
The European Union also said that the injuries inflicted on Mahsa Amini in police custody are unacceptable, and the perpetrators of this murder must be held accountable.
Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and Masud Gharahkhani, President of the Storting in Norway separately reacted to the suppression of popular protests in Iran.

And Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, stated: “Canada is gravely concerned by potential further crackdowns and the use of additional force against civilians. We call on Iran to stop escalating tensions and to refrain from committing further acts of violence against its own population”. “We salute the courage of the Iranian women who are peacefully protesting and we join them in sending the regime a very clear message: they must end all forms of persecution and violence against women,” she added.
British Foreign Minister James Cleverly and Gabriel Boric, President of Chile, called for respect for people’s protests and to end oppression against women.
Anonymous, a well-known hacktivist group, also came to the aid of Iranian protesters by organizing online to orchestrate cyber-attacks on Iranian officials and institutions and stated: “we will not keep the Iranian government alive on the internet.”
In addition, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who is the United States ambassador to the United Nations under President Joe Biden, while announcing her support for the courage of Iranian women in the nationwide protests, wrote in her Twitter account: To the women in Iran standing up for basic freedoms: we stand in solidarity with you. Your bravery is an inspiration to people all over the world”.
Moreover, the government of Canada announced that it would sanction institutions and people responsible for violence against women in Iran, including the “Morality Police,” which played a role in the death of Mahsa Amini. On the tenth day of the nationwide protests in Iran, Annalena Baerbock, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany, called for the imposition of sanctions against the authorities of the Islamic Republic for suppressing the protests.
In this regard, the French newspaper, Libération, devoted its first page to the protests of the Iranian people. In addition, the British newspaper The Times published a cartoon and wrote: This is the biggest demonstration against the hijab in modern history.
By publishing a statement, the European Council called on the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately stop the “violent” suppression of the ongoing protests in the country and to guarantee citizens’ access to the Internet and the free flow of information.
On the other hand, Hundreds of women in the Kurdish city of Qamishli in Northeast Syria demonstrated in solidarity with Iranian women to condemn the death of Mahsa Amini who was an Iranian Kurdish woman.
Ravina Shamdasani, Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, also expressed concern about the suppression of protests by the security apparatus of the Islamic Republic and the restrictions imposed on the use of communication lines, the Internet and social networks in Iran and stated: “we are extremely concerned by comments by some leaders vilifying protesters, and by the apparent unnecessary and disproportionate use of force against protesters. Firearms must never be used simply to disperse an assembly”.
Ahmad Massoud, an Afghan politician, said in response to nationwide protests in Iran, “everything that happens in Iran, more difficult of it happens Afghanistan; however, both of them are a common pain in which they defend for their rights.”
Rashid Farivar, an Iranian-born Swedish Politician and a Member of the Sweden Parliament, also announced his support for the protests in Iran by publishing a message.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on his Twitter account that “Iranian women should not be subject to arrest, let alone brutal beatings, for how they choose to dress. Iran’s government should listen to those protesting Mahsa Amini’s unconscionable death in police custody, not fire on them”. He also stated that we condemn the violence, the brutality exhibited by Iran’s security forces following Mahsa Amini’s death and that it is incumbent on the international community to speak out.
The Former United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, also stated on his Twitter that “After more than 40 years of tyranny, the proud Iranian people are standing up to their government’s abuses. The American people stand with the people of Iran”.
Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania, ended diplomatic ties with Iran in a video statement on September 7 and declared, “the Albanian government will consider restoring relations with Iran only when Iran is free.”
In addition, the representative of France condemned the death of Mahsa Amini and the “brutal” suppression of protesters by the security apparatus of the Islamic Republic and said: “The only fault of Mahsa Amini was that she did not wear a headscarf correctly.”
Josh Burns, the head of the Australian Labor Party Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights, also reacted to the events in Iran. In addition, Isabelle Lonvis-Rome, the Minister for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities in the Borne government, and Roland Rescuer, representative of the Minister of Industry of France, participated in the Iranian diaspora protest, which was held in Paris on September 26th in support of Iran’s demonstrations. By publishing a statement that criticized their colleagues in academic environments, dozens of feminist professors from universities around the world demanded to declare their solidarity with the Iranian protesters. They claimed that the protests of the Iranian people are a ‘feminist revolution” whose clear demand is to end a religious regime.”
Moreover, Jim Risch, the Republican Senator in the US stated that the protests indicate Iranians’ desire for a free and peaceful country. He also added that the Biden administration’s blind pursuit of a new nuclear deal will only empower the regime.” Democratic Senator Bob Menendez also said in a message that Iranian protesters should know that we in the United States and all over the world see and praise their courage against the violent, oppressive and misogynistic regime of Iran.
Rick Scott, Chris Van Hollen, Mitt Romney, and Mike Rounds, four American Senators, Giorgia Meloni, a member of the Chamber of Deputies in Italy, and Peter Khalil, a Member of the Australian House of Representatives, are among other foreign political figures who have reacted to the recent events in Iran.
More importantly, Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, announced the list of sanctions on 34 Iranian officials and entities about a week after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised measures against the Islamic Republic. The list includes 25 individuals and 9 entities such as Mohammed-Hossein Bagheri, Major General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces; Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); Esmail Qaani, Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; Seyyed Mohammed Saleh Hashemi Golpayegani, Secretary of Iran’s Headquarters for the Office of Enjoining Right and Forbidding Evil; Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Cyber Defense Command; Evin Prison, which houses political prisoners; Iran’s Morality Police, and Mohammad Rostami Cheshmeh Gachi, Head of the Morality Police; Esmail Khatib, Minister of Intelligence and Security and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
Similarly, the German magazine Der Spiegel reported that six member states of the European Union, including Germany, France, Denmark, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic, have submitted 16 proposals for new European Union sanctions against Iran for its violent crackdown on protests over women’s rights.
Austria supports “together with our European partners,” Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, Spain and Czechia, the extension of sanctions against those responsible for human rights violations in Iran, the foreign ministry said. “The Federal Government is called upon to work to prevent and combat violence against women, including sexual and gender-based violence, and to address relevant individual cases such as the case of Mahsa Amini, also at the bilateral level,” said the for Foreign Affairs human rights spokesperson in Austria, Ewa Ernst-Dziedzic, on 30 September.
Furthermore, in a statement, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, stated that “for decades, Iran’s regime has denied fundamental freedoms to its people and suppressed the aspirations of successive generations through intimidation, coercion, and violence. The United States stands with Iranian women and all the citizens of Iran who are inspiring the world with their bravery”. He added that “the United States is making it easier for Iranians to access the Internet, including through facilitating greater access to secure, outside platforms and services. The United States is also holding accountable Iranian officials and entities, such as the Morality Police, that are responsible for employing violence to suppress civil society”.
Wendy Ruth Sherman, United States Deputy Secretary of State, shared President Biden’s statement on her Twitter account and added: “the United States remains deeply concerned about the intensifying violent crackdown on peaceful protesters in Iran. We stand with the Iranian people and will continue supporting their right to protest freely”.
Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, also announced the US government’s “concern and disgust” over the suppression of protesting Iranian students after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. She told the press that university students in Iran are “rightly enraged” by Mahsa Amini’s death and that the recent crackdowns in the Sharif University are the type of events that prompt young people in Iran to leave the country “and seek dignity and opportunity elsewhere.”
More so, Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, supported the protests of Iranian women and stated that “Women. Life. Liberty.” [aka Woman, Life, Freedom] Three words that have become a rallying cry for all those standing up for equality, dignity and freedom in Iran”.
Last but not least, by releasing a statement, the Swedish Trade Union Confederation declared that we are “deeply concerned by the death of Mahsa Amini after she suffered injuries while in police custody.

It also incorporates the judicial authorities’ announcements or confirmations of prisoner executions on media, and as such, is exposed to a margin of error representing efforts by the Iranian authorities to omit, conceal, or restrict the collection of such data.

Between October 10, 2021, and October 7, 2022, at least 528 convicts were executed by hanging in Iran, rising to 98% compared to the same period last year. Of these executions, one was carried out in public. Many of the defendants were denied a fair trial and due process.

William F. Wechsler the senior Director of Rafik Hariri Center & Middle East programs of Atlantic Council started the seminar by welcoming the guests. He also mentioned that the initial objective of the event at the early stages of planning has been “to call attention to dynamic that was happening inside Iran that was not getting as much attention and now, of course, the world is watching”, then he continues to remind us that Iran threatens neighbors in the region and in the rest of the world however “the first people that it threatens and the first victims are the people in Iran itself.” After setting the tone for the panel discussion ahead, Wechsler introduces the Keynote speaker Deputy Assistant Secretary for Iran and Iraq, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Press, and public diplomacy of US Department of State, Jennifer Gavito.

“The government of Iran has denied Iranians their human rights including through severe restrictions on the rights to peaceful assembly, freedom of association, freedom of religion or belief, freedom of expression. For decades political decent has been met with violent repression from the Iranian regime”, Das Gavito expressed concerns for the human right situation in Iran.

Das Gavito mentions the recent violent crackdown on peaceful protestors following the Mahsa Amini’s Death and the increased pressure on Iranian women by the Morality Police. Then she speaks of brave women who fight for their fundamental rights and continues to say, “The protests that we are seeing throughout Iran in spite of the government retaliation and attempts to obfuscate reality show very clearly that the Iranian people and the Islamic Republic of Iran do not see eye to eye”.

“The United States strongly supports the human rights of all Iranian women including the right to peacefully assemble and to express themselves without fear of violence” DAS Gavito then emphasizes that Iran’s human rights abuses is not limited to suppression women’s rights and peaceful assembly, rather Iran has a large number of political prisoners. She mentions the violation of rights of religious minorities by Iranian Government who have been targeted for their beliefs as well. DAS Gavito promised the people of Iran that the American government will hold the violators of human rights accountable. As an example, she pointed to the recent sanction of the moral security police and high-rank officials and said that the actions of the American government will not be limited to these cases and sanctions.

After DAS Gavito, Holly Darges, as the Moderator, gave a general explanation about the panel process and the general description of the events of the recent protests in Iran, and noted that the suppression of protests and the human rights situation in Iran is at a very critical stage. Darges then introduces all the panelists and starts the panel by Yeganeh Rezaian.

Yeganeh Rezaian, Journalist and Senior Researcher at the committee to protect Journalists (CPJ) spoke about her experience of encountering the Morality police as a woman who lived in Iran and her arrest and transfers to the same detention center where Mahsa Amini had been taken to. She continues by reminding that many women in Iran have a similar experience and are repeatedly detained for their choice of clothing. She also pointed to the courage of the new generation in Iran and said that the new generation is fundamentally different from its previous generations and does not bow down to the police and the ruling class.

Ms. Rezaian, who as a journalist has a history of being imprisoned in Iran, emphasized the importance of keeping track of arrests and the role of journalists, by saying Journalists working in international media have many restrictions on traveling to Iran, preparing documents and news reports, and that is why they usually only refer to the reports prepared by journalists inside Iran – despite the many restrictions. This is in a situation where the arrest of Iranian journalists and the pressure on them has increased dramatically in recent days, and this issue has made providing information more challenging than before.

Furthermore, she raised concern about increasing arrests of journalists even local journalists in very small towns, she claimed at least half of journalists arrested in recent days have been women and asked the international community to increase the pressure on Iran for the suppression and arrests of journalists in Iran.

Senior Advocacy Coordinator at Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA), Skylar Thompson, started her remarks by reporting on the alarming situation of women and human rights in Iran. While presenting a heat map of current protests, Thompson highlights that just in the first 10 days of protests, “protests are spanning 93 cities at least there are in 30 of 31 provinces, they are in 18 universities” she then continues by saying that these protests are not just in urban streets of Tehran, but they are spawning geographically, class, gender, and age wise.

Skylar Thompson presented statistics on the repression of protesters in recent days in Iran, stating according to HRA’s documentation received to this point the youngest person killed was a 16-year-old boy, and she added, A 10-year-old girl was also targeted in these protests. she was shot by the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but fortunately she survived, although she is in critical condition.

According to Thompson, the senior advocacy coordinator at HRA the situation of human rights has exacerbated during Raisi’s term. She mentioned the upward trends in executions, the return of public executions after two years, and the execution of minor offenders. She also mentioned the surge in inhumane retaliation sentences such as amputation of hands and blinding of eyes.

Mrs. Thompson further pointed to the actions that the international community is obliged to take, such as sanctioning the officials behind suppression, as well as sanctioning institutions that violate women’s rights in Iran, and said: “The fact that the American and Canadian governments have imposed sanctions on the Morality Police and some officials is a positive step, but we do not know who the Canadian government has specifically sanctioned. On the other hand, the silence of countries like England is questionable, and we still do not know the result of the decision and possible actions of the European Union.

In addition, in answer to a question raised by the audience, Mrs. Thompson addressed the difficult livelihood situation of workers and teachers in Iran. She pointed out that teachers had organized many protest rallies in recent months, which led to the arrest of more than 150 teachers’ union activists.

Senior Researcher MENA region at Article 19, Mahsa Alimardani, raised concerns regarding free flow of information due to the internet disruption and blocking of many online services in Iran during recent protests.

Alimardani, as an expert in the field of technology and communication, discussed the challenges of communication in Iran in the last eleven days and that the Islamic Republic has used new methods to limit access to the Internet. She discussed the difference between the communication restrictions in recent events and what happened in November 2019 and explained that even though this time the internet was not cut off completely like in November 2019 and some Iranians have been able to use the internet in recent days. She added that the disruptions are more strategic than before and at hours that protests usually increase after 4pm, outages and other disruptions increase.

Alimardani Also spoke about Satellite Internet (Namely Starlink) and called the lifting of U.S. sanctions in this regard a positive step. She also warned of the vast disinformation in this regard and even malwares and unsafe apps that have claimed by their downloads users in Iran can connect to Starlink.

Despite the existing challenges, Alimardani expressed hope about the possibility of using satellite internet but also warned that the excessive attention to Starlink in recent days has been a bit misleading and has caused attention to be taken away from the actions that can be taken, such as providing safe and secure VPNs for users in Iran.

Anthony Vance, director of public affairs of the Baha’is of the United States, was another speaker at the meeting who addressed the problems of the Baha’is in Iran and said that the pressure on the Baha’is of Iran has increased systematically in the government of Ibrahim Raisi, especially since June. Depriving Baha’is of education, destroying their homes and spreading hatred against the Baha’i community are only a few examples of the oppression that Vance mentioned.

At the end of the joint meeting of the group of human rights activists in Iran and the Atlantic Council, the Panelists Answered questions submitted by the audience.

A Statistical Look at the Situation of Iranian Workers over the Past Year

Iranian labor rights activists and workers face ongoing rights violations. 

“Worsening workers’ livelihood rings the alarm. They have to ration a rice sack for the next three months. Many items have vanished from their […] baskets and they [can] afford nothing else but loaves of bread. In this situation, this year, they […] face new problems such as the plan to remove Social Security booklets, mass layoffs, discrimination in recruitment against native laborers, inflation and sky-rocketing prices.”

Ahead of International Workers’ Day, Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA) highlights the most crucial issues faced by the Iranian worker during past year. Specifically, this report details issues related to wages, wage arrears (or withheld wages), workplace safety, and union rights.  

Iran is rank 102nd in the world in terms of occupational safety. According to the Statistics and Publication Center of HRA, over the past twelve months (from May 1, 2021, to April 27, 2022), at least 10,895 workers have been killed or injured in work related accidents. This number is a combination of reports made by State media and workers’ rights organizations.

During this period, at least 10,084 workers were injured at work, of which 9,385 cases have been mentioned in 14 official reports or have been part of comments made by officials at either national or provincial levels, and the remainder, 699 cases, were reported by civil and labor rights associations.

At least 811 workers lost their lives in work related accidents, of which 438 deaths were reported by 13 official reports and the remainder, 373 deaths, were not mentioned by officials, but were reported by independent organizations.

According to official reports, falling from tall heights is a leading cause of death in work related incidents, responsible for 41.5% of workplace deaths over the past ten years. 

It is worth noting that although the above-mentioned statistics are  high and thus are of grave concern, one must consider that the numbers do not cover all cases and that actual numbers are presumed much higher.

The regimes lack of transparency remains a concern. The official figures do not add up. The Iranian Legal Medicine Organization stated that “during the last 10 years (2008-2018), 15,997 workers lost their lives in work accidents, of which 230 were women.” Based on these figures, the average number of work related casualties would be significantly higher than the officially-announced death toll of 438.

Wage Arrears (Withheld wages) 

According to statistics compiled by HRA’s Statistics and Publication Center, at least 45,462 workers have more than 1,366 combined months of wage arrears. 

Figure 1: the distribution of wage arrears

Based on data gathered by HRA’s Statistics and Publication Center figure 1 shows the distribution of wage arrears among various economic sectors. The public sector companies and organizations are responsible for 76%. The private sector and energy industry are  14 and 7% respectively. The nature of the organizations responsible for 3% of these wage arrears remains unknown. 

Unfortunately, many official reports fail to provide the number of workers awaiting wage arrears, which prevents the reporting of an accurate number. 

Peaceful Assembly and Association 

Media and civil society organizations have reported 589 workers’ protests and 1,741 trade union protests, which  have increased by 57.6% and decreased by 0.6% resepctively compared to the previous year.

Major labor events in the country over the past year include the workers protests of Haft Tappeh Sugarcane Company, Kut-e Abdollah Municipality, Railway Services & Technical Construction Engineering Company, and the working and retired teachers and social security pensioners.

Over the past 12 months, numerous cities across the country witnessed a wide range of labour protests with various demands such as addressing insurance issues and wage arrears, the latter sometimes accumulating up to 30 months.

In total, 383 labour strikes and 397 union strikes have been reported, which shows a large increase of 70% and 99% respectively. 

Solidarity among workers in various occupations has grown. Workers have to tackle formidable obstacles of suppression, denial of workers’ rights to protest, suppression of any attempt toward unionization and forming independent labour organizations, and the arrest and imprisonment of labour activists. These challenges present hurdles to many things but notably to organization. 

There are no labour unions in the conventional sense. Workers’ efforts to form an independent workers union are suppressed by security and politically-tainted allegations against workers’ rights activists.  A striking illustration of such allegation and suppression can be seen in the cases of the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company, Haft Tappeh SugarCane Syndicate, the Coordination Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations and the Independent Iranian Workers Union (IIWU).

Many workers have been summoned, arrested or convicted for peaceful activities such as protests against low wages, signing a petition in support of labour unions, posting photos of workers’ demonstrations on the internet or even receiving an invitation letter to attend world trade union meetings.

At least 69 workers and workers’ rights activists have been arrested in the past 12 months. The top three cases are the arrest of 30 citizens during International Labor Day rallies, 9 workers of Municipality of Ahvaz, and 4 workers of Mobin Mining and Road Construction. 

Additionally, 7 workers and workers’ rights activists have been sentenced to a combined total of 248 months imprisonment, a combined total of 124 lashes and paying a combined total fine of 23 million Tomans. In the reporting period, 7 workers committed self-immolation, and 8 workers committed suicide. 2 workers were beaten by the security forces. 20 were summoned by security or judicial institutions. 2,576 workers were subjected to layoffs; 8,250 involuntarily lost their jobs; 1,645,739 workers remain deprived of any labour insurance scheme; 8,978 workers were suspended from work due to factory closure or other reasons for which the employer is liable. 

Moreover, 185 trade union activists were arrested. 7 activists were sentenced to a combined total of 229 months imprisonment. 52 individuals were summoned by security or judicial authorities and 3,555 businesses were closed by Public Security Police or other authorities. 

During the past 12 months, retired and working teachers and educators from dozens of cities across the country staged numerous protests, strikes, and rallies to ask for their demands. 1,030 protest gatherings and 372 labour strikes have been recorded. Following these protests, 50 teachers were summoned, 12 were convicted, 9 were subjected to violence by police and security forces and one teacher committed suicide. 6 teachers and teachers union activists were sentenced to a combined total of 169 months in prison and a combined total fine of 21.5 million Tomans.

Prohibition of child labor and the provision of free education for children, the establishment of the highest level of safety standards in the workplace, and the elimination of discriminatory laws for women and migrant workers are other demands of the working community. “These practices must also be the demands of the international community as they are in fact the States obligations under international law,” says Skylar Thompson, HRA’s Senior Advocacy Coordinator. “Iran must ensure provisions are in place to protect workers rights and that includes their right to peaceful assembly and association.”

Iranian Women’s participation in the labour market is significantly less than men. In addition, women carrying less legal protections broadly in Iran’s judicial framework are less protected by labor law and receive fewer benefits. As a result, female workers have less bargaining power than their male counterparts. Production and industrial employers are also less inclined to employ married women, and in some cases employ single women with a pre-condition not to marry or become pregnant, practices which are in it of themselves discriminatory and vastly problematic. 

The Economic Situation

On raising the minimum wage and its effect the economic situation of the Iranian people, the board member of the Islamic Labour Council of Tehran Province, Alireza Fathi stated: “This begs the question of whether raising the minimum wage at the beginning of each year can catch up with the inflation jump in the first three months of the year, which reduces workers’ purchasing power to one third.”

“As labor law dictates, from 30% insurance contribution, 23% is employer’s share and 7% employee’s. Workers are wondering for which social services, housing or family doctor, these insurance contributions are spent”, he added.

Likewise, the head of the National Center of Construction Workers Associations, Akbar Shokat stated: “high inflation and soaring prices on a daily basis have worsened workers’ livelihood to such an extent that the minimum wage announced for this year can only cover the living costs for a few days in one month.” 

A worker of the Municipality of Mariwan describes their diminishing purchasing power: “We have not eaten meat for many months. We spare the yoghurt only for our guests. Earlier, we could afford tomato or potato omelettes several times a week. Now, with such high prices of eggs, we have to suffice to cooked or fried potatoes.”

The head of the Bushehr Trade Association explains how workers’ problems last year have doubled: “Worsening workers’ livelihood rings the alarm. They have to ration a rice sack for the next three months. Many items have vanished from their consumption basket and they afford nothing else but the loaves of bread. In this situation, this year, they have to face new problems such as the plan to remove Social Security booklets, mass layoffs, discrimination in recruitment against native laborers, inflation and sky-rocketing prices.”

As many experts and workers’ rights activists point out, the minimum wage as announced by The Supreme Labor Council falls lower than the actual inflation rate and consumption expenditure of households. Among other reasons, this explains the increase in workers’ protests and their disempowerment to raise their voices.

Prohibition of child labor and the provision of free education for children, the establishment of the highest level of safety standards in the workplace, and the elimination of discriminatory laws for women and migrant workers are other demands of the working community. “These practices must also be the demands of the international community as they are in fact the States obligations under international law,” says Skylar Thompson, HRA’s Senior Advocacy Coordinator. “Iran must ensure provisions are in place to protect workers rights and that includes their right to peaceful assembly and association.”

As Iranian workers celebrate International Workers’ Day there is little prospect of improvement through domestic reform or remedy nonetheless the State remains obligated to uphold its international human rights obligations under both the ICCPR and the ICESCR. Therefore the State is obligated to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights of workers and labour rights activists both in the workplace and when choosing to take to the streets in peaceful assembly or to gather in association. 

 

Figure2: Occupational Accident Classification Chart as documented by HRA

Based on data gathered by HRA’s Statistics and Publication Center, (a collection of 3,730 reports published in the 12 month reporting period) 34% of workplace accidents were caused by being struck by hard objects, 20% by falling from tall heights, 7% by motor vehicle accidents, 6% construction accidents, 10% factory accidents, 10% fire accidents, 3% accidents in the wells, 4% electrocutions, 2% accidents in the mine, 2% suffocation and 1% agricultural accidents.

Iranians celebrate the Persian New Year Despite yet another Gruesome Year of Abuse at the Hands of the Regime

HRANA– As Iranians celebrate the Persian New Year,  HRANA takes a look back at the year 1400 Hijri (March 21, 2021 – March 16, 2022). 

The regime’s security and judicial authorities continued to systematically violate human rights–including the right of freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and the right to discrimination. The regime remained steadfast in its commitment to arbitrarily prosecute and torture human rights activists, execute juvenile offenders after disproportionate and lengthy detentions, it failed to meet obligations to protect women and gender minorities against violence, it took dual and foreign nationals hostage, held prisoners in inhuman conditions, failed to meet obligations to protect the right to health, namely with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, it continued notorious torture of prisoners, imposed cruel corporal punishments such as flogging, deprived prisoners of conscience adequate medical treatment, and imposed harsh, disproportionate sentences on political prisoners. The list goes on. 

 

Arrests

Based on data gathered from 6,722 reports registered by the Statistics and Publication Center of Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA):

  • 1,734 people were arrested for their political activities or the expression of their beliefs and opinions. 
  • 141 people were arrested for adopting a lifestyle considered by the regime unacceptable–including for hosting or attending private parties that were deemed to be in violation of Islamic principles. 
  • 11 people were arrested for modeling, dancing, playing/listening to inappropriate music, and other cultural activities.

 

Of those arrested:

  • 1,047 people were detained for expressing their opinion and beliefs, including 22 minors, 117 workers’ rights activists, 92 journalists (and social media) activists, 64 religious minorities, 6 womens’ rights defenders, and 370 ethnic minorities.

*From the latter, the charges against 347 arrestees are unknown. However, considering HRA’s knowledge of the security institutions in any given area, these arrests have been included in the category of ethnic minorities.

The above figures exclude hundreds of people who were arrested and dozens who were killed or injured during the July 2021 Khuzestan protests (over water shortage and mismanagement), The figure also excludes at least 214 arrestees (including 13 minors) during the 2021 Isfahan water protests. The Security forces and police brutally cracked down on protestors using batons, tear gas, and pellet guns.

 

Sentencing 

Across the country, Public and Revolutionary Courts handled a total of 310 legal cases amounting to a combined total of 12,760 months in prison and a combined total of  667,250,000 tomans in fines (approx. 22,241 USD). In addition, the courts handed down a combined total of 556 months of suspended imprisonment for charges related to political activities. 

Iran’s judicial system continued imposing “inhuman” punishments which are at odds with fundamental human rights and dignity. In a gruesome example, the courts ruled for the mutilation of eyes –which was carried out. The courts continued to issue flogging sentences contrary to international obligations. In addition, issued a combined total of 4,081 lashes (a combined total of 397 lashes carried out in the given period). 

 

Child Rights 

Given that many child abuse cases are silenced by families and government institutions, the available statistics do not reflect an accurate depiction of the issue. Nonetheless, at least 7,764 child abuse cases, 16 cases of sexual abuse and rape, 16 cases of juvenile homicide, 4 cases of juvenile honor killings, 3 self-immolations, 92 suicide attempts, 3 acid attacks, 29 cases of child trafficking and sales, and more than 20 thousands child marriages. In addition, 3 million children dropped out of school in the given time period. 

Although there is no accurate data on the number of child laborers due to activities of organized crime institutions and the government’s failure to tackle this issue, the Iranian Scientific Association of Social Work (ISASW) estimates at least seven million children are active in the workforce. 

 

Women’s Rights 

At least 21,594 cases of domestic violence against women were recorded. Considering the flaws in the law system and entrenched gender inequality in society, the real figures are likely much higher. During the given period there were a registered 12 acid attacks, 4 rapes and/or sexual assaults, 15 female homicides, 10 female self-immolations, 4 suicides, and 20 honor killings. 

 

Use of Force (Kolbars and Sukhtbars)

In the given period, a total of 203 citizens were shot by the regime’s military forces. In these incidents, 91 people were shot dead including 26 Kolbars (Cross Border Carriers), 13 Sukhtbar (Fuel Border Carriers), and 52 other civilians. 112 people were injured, of the injured, 82 people were Kolbars, 12 Sukhtbar, and 18 other civilians.

Additionally, 34 Kolbars were affected by climate and geographic factors such as freezing temperatures and falling from heights. In these accidents, 21 Kolbars were injured and 13 ultimately died. 

It is of note that landmine blasts took the life of 25 citizens and maimed 65 others during this year. Most of these landmines are the remnants of the Iran-Iraq War. The Regime still shirks its responsibility to clear these landmines and hence endangers the life of its citizens living in the mine-affected areas.

 

Executions  

Iran has been one of the world’s top executioners. In the given time period, at least 333 people were executed, including 12 women and 3 juvenile offenders who were under the age of 18 at the time of committing the crime. In addition, the courts sentenced 105 defendants to the death penalty.

 

Prisoners Rights 

Based on HRANA reports, 42 prisoners have been victims of physical assault, 248 prisoners were deprived of adequate medical care, 68 prisoners were held in solitary confinement cells, 193 went on hunger strike as a last resort to achieve urgent demands, 93 inmates were forcefully sent to a prison in exile, 207 inmates were threatened or subjected to regime pressure, 15 inmates were deprived of visitation, 17 inmates were tortured physically or mentally, 21 inmates died in prison by diseases, one inmate committed suicide, one committed self-immolation, 5 inmates were killed by prison guards/officials, 93 prisoners were denied access to a lawyer, 1,889 inmates were held in harsh and inhuman conditions, 34 prisoners were subjected to torture as a means of forced confessions, 203 political prisoners were co-housed with the prisoners of violent crimes, and 88 inmates were denied necessary medical furlough.

There have been 199 incommunicado detentions and 270 cases of detainees kept in an unknown state regarding their sentence.

 

Workers Rights 

During the given period, at least 10,669 workers were laid off or fired, 764 killed and 9,441 injured in workplace accidents. Moreover, 993,726 workers went without work insurance. There were also a reported 68 factory closures. In addition, at least 31,672 workers reported delays in payments.

 

Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Association

In the given period 2,769 protest rallies were held across 24 provinces. 

Of the 2,769 documented rallies:

  • 610 workers’ rallies
  • 1,769 union rallies
  • 80 rallies against the suppression of freedom of expression
  • 48 student rallies
  • 262 rallies held by the victims of financial frauds or other fraudulent acts 

In addition, there were 392 labor strikes and 368 union strikes.

 

Concluding Note

Iran’s regime does not allow independent human rights organizations to report and collect data freely. As a result, these figures reveal merely the tip of the iceberg of the human rights situation in Iran. Therefore, it is noteworthy to mention that the figures provided in this report are merely based on the reports of civil society organizations like HRANA and its Statistics and Publication Center.

HRA Highlights Sixty-Nine Dual and Foreign Nationals Detained by Iran From 2003 to Present 

HRANA – HRA has compiled a list of sixty-nine dual and foreign nationals detained by Iran since 2003. The list illustrates a deeply flawed judiciary plagued with the ongoing use of arbitrary detention fueled by an extraordinary lack of due process. It is noteworthy that in recent years a number of these arrests have been made by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It is overwhelmingly clear that Iran continues to use dual and foreign nationals as political bargaining chips, often charging individuals in connection with espionage and citing national security concerns—with an alarming lack of evidence. HRA has documented extensive evidence of unfair trials, often conducted in a language the accused does not understand, with the denial of legal counsel, disproportionate sentencing, prolonged solitary confinement, and interrogations marred with torture leading to forced and sometimes televised confessions. The list goes on. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has commented on Iran’s trend of detaining dual nationals confirming that a number of those detained were targeted based on their “nationality or social origin”. 

The detention of dual and foreign nationals is seemingly targeted and systematic and it must be widely condemned. Iran cannot be allowed to use human beings as players in its political chessboard. Despite the foreign ministries’ November 2021 guarantee vowing the safety of dual nationals traveling to Iran, the continued practice and failure to release those currently detained sends a starkly opposite message to Iranians that enjoy dual nationality. A message that it is not safe to return to Iran without a well-founded fear of detention. There is no secret that Iran views dual nationals in this way. The case of Nazanin Zarcari Radcliffe is an unfortunate example of just how serious Iran takes the game. They view Nazanin as ransom for a four-hundred million pound debt owed by the United Kingdom daring back to a 1979 arms deal. It has become clear that Nazanin’s freedom hinges on the payment of said funds. She is not alone. There must be sustained international pressure to release Nazanin and all dual and foreign nationals currently detained by Iran. It’s a dangerous game when politics become more important than the very lives politicians were elected to serve. 

In a letter written from prison, currently detained dual national, Siamak Namazi said Iran’s continued use of hostage diplomacy was like “sprinkl[ing] salt on the wound of distrust.” This is surely a shared sentiment in numerous diplomatic circles attempting to tackle the issue.  

The following list documents sixty-nine dual and foreign nationals detained by Iran from 2003 to the present day. A number of those detained were released prior to the completion of their sentence–illustrating the arbitrariness of the practice. Some were never fortunate enough to return home and ultimately faced execution at the hands of their abductors. While several have been released a number still await a strategic move on the chessboard that has, unfortunately, become their reality. American, British, and Canadian citizens account for the highest number of detentions among dual nationals–the highest number of detentions occurring in 2016. It is worth noting that the actual number of detentions may be higher than reported. Dual national detentions significantly outnumber that of foreign nationals reaffirming the widespread distrust in Iran’s commitment to the safety of dual nationals wishing to “return home”.

Annual Analytical and Statistical Report on Human Rights in Iran for the year 2021

This leaflet contains the Annual Analytical and Statistical Report on Human Rights in Iran for the year 2021. The report, prepared by the Department of Statistics and Publications of Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA), is the result of daily effort on the part of the organization and its members, and as part of a daily statistic and census project that was started by this organization in 2009.
This annual report on human rights violations in Iran collects, analyzes, and documents 5683 reports concerning human rights, gathered from various news sources during 2021 [January 1st to December 20th]. 38% of reports analyzed came from sources gathered and reported by Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), while 38% came from official Iranian government sources or sources close to the government. 24% of reports came from other human rights news agencies.

This is the brief version and the full report is available for download in PDF format. Click here

The following 53-pages include statistical overviews and related charts regarding women’s rights, children’s rights, prisoners’ rights, etc. Despite the 1.5% increase in reports of human rights violations in provinces other than Tehran from last year’s Annual Report, data from this year indicates that smaller cities lack adequate reporting and monitoring of human rights.

This report is the result the work of courageous human rights activists in Iran who pay a very high cost for as they strive to enact their humanitarian beliefs. However, for obvious reasons (i.e. existing governmental limitations, bans on the free exchange of information and government interference with the existence of human rights organizations in the country), this report by no means is free of errors and cannot solely reflect the actual status of human rights in Iran. Having said that, it should be emphasized that this report is considered one of the most accurate, comprehensive, and authentic reports on human rights conditions in Iran. It serves as a very informative resource for human rights activists and organizations working on Iran who seek to better understand the challenges and opportunities that they may face.

MONITORING

The following map illustrates the number of reports per province made by human rights organizations and news agencies. This is a direct reflection of each province’s current capacity for civil rights (2021).

The highest number of reports were published in December, while the lowest number of reports published occurred in April.
38% of reports analyzed came from sources gathered and reported by Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), while 38% came from official Iranian government sources or sources close to the government. 24% of reports came from other human rights news agencies.

Of these, 1,261 were union rallies, 618 were workers’ rallies, 301 were rallies related to economic hardship, 77 were rallies against the suppression of freedom of expression, and 43 were student rallies. In addition to the rallies, there were also 339 labor strikes and 192 union strikes.

The statistical analysis exhibited 26 case of arrest in the trade union category, 445 arrests in the category of ethnic minorities, 57 arrests in the category of religious minorities, 1043 arrests in the category of freedom of expression, 25 arrests related to children’s rights, 3 arrests of students related to the right to education, 6 arrests in the field of cultural rights, and 64 arrests in the category of workers’ rights.
6 women were prosecuted for their activities, including the promotion of their desired lifestyle. 5 of these women were arrested for modeling, and 1 for activism in this area.
As the following bar graph illustrates, based on the number of reports per month, the highest number of reports in this category fell in November and the lowest in December.
In 2021, the number of arrests increased by 14% in total. Broken into categories, the number of arrests increased in the Ethnic Minority category by 55%, Culture decreased by 77%, Religious minorities decreased by 25%, Unions decreased by 44%, Students decreased by 50%, Workers’ Rights increased by 53%, and Freedom of Expression increased by 12%.

SEXUAL AND GENDER MINORITIES

The rights of sexual and gender minorities have previously been analyzed in the Annual Report of Human Rights Activists in Iran as a subset of other categories. The main reason for this was that the small handful of reports in the area did not allow analysis.
Creating an independent categorization, even with a small number of reports, is in fact an attempt to increase surveillance of this group.
The rights of sexual and gender minorities in the country are systematically violated in various ways. The criminalization of homosexuality and the non-recognition of transgender identity before gender reassignment procedures are two of many systematic violations that can seen codified into domestic law.
There are many obstacles in reporting on this topic, including open hatred against members of the community, cultural taboos, legal barriers, and the weakness of Iranian civil rights organizations in monitoring and reporting violations. The government’s policy in dealing with sexual minority issues in Iran exacerbates the vulnerability of these groups.
Of the few reports published in this area, it should be noted that HRANA reported 15 prisoners with uncertain judicial status accused of having homosexual relationships in Wards 2 and 10 of Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj.
The detention of these citizens was directly related to having a homosexual relationship.
In some cases, security and law enforcement agencies acknowledge the detention and harassment of members of this community. For example, in June of this year, Reza Molouki, head of the FATA police in the east of Tehran Province announced the identification and arrest of a citizen on charges of “corruption on earth”, calling his relationship with a homosexual illegitimate.
Trans citizens face legal problems in addition to cultural issues in the process of changing their identity documents or seeking exemption from conscription. In another report, a citizen living in Tehran, after obtaining a military exemption due to his gender identity, lost his employment and was unable to renew his license as an expert of the Food and Drug Administration.
In 2019, the World Health Organization updated its guidelines on disorders related to sexuality and gender identity in the ICD-11. In doing so, transgender identity was no longer recognized as a “disorder” by the WHO.
