HRANA – According to HRANA’s latest aggregated data through the end of the forty-ninth day since the beginning of the protests, the total number of confirmed fatalities has reached 7,010. Based on these figures, 6,506 of those killed have been recorded in the category of “protesters,” while 224 are listed under “children under 18 years of age.” In addition, 214 members of the military-government forces and 66 “non-military, non-protesters” have been reported killed. Another 11,744 cases remain under review.

During the same period, the number of injured civilians has been recorded at 25,845; total arrests at 53,845 cases; student arrests at 141 cases; forced confessions at 355 cases; and summonses at 11,052 cases. A total of 676 protest-related incidents have been documented across 210 cities in 31 provinces.

Today’s key developments include the following: the continuation of scattered arrests in various cities, with a noticeable focus on teenagers and school students; the ongoing process of judicial case-building and legal proceedings against detainees; the echo of anti-government nighttime slogans in several cities; and, at the same time, the intensification of political and diplomatic pressure by Canada in the form of sanctions related to repression and human rights violations.

Unidentified Bodies; Official Account of “Unidentified Victims”

Mohammad Seraj, a Member of Parliament and member of the Social Commission, stated in remarks that received widespread attention that a number of the bodies of those killed during the protests remain unidentified. He attributed the failure to identify these bodies to “families not coming forward” as well as the “absence of identification documents accompanying the bodies,” adding that in some cases “no one has come to claim these bodies, nor were there identification documents with them.”

These statements, alongside other reports about ambiguity surrounding the identity and fate of some of the victims, once again highlight the government’s lack of transparency in the process of recording, informing the public about, and ensuring accountability for those killed, as well as the pressure placed on victims’ families to keep the matter quiet.

Tehran Revolutionary Court; Trial of Three Detainees on Serious Charges

As part of the ongoing judicial prosecution of detainees, the Judiciary’s Media Center announced that a court session had been held at the Tehran Revolutionary Court to examine the charges against three detained protesters. According to the report, Ehsan Hosseinipour Hessarloo, Matin Mohammadi, and Erfan Amiri were tried in this case.

The charges brought against the three include “involvement in setting fire to a mosque” as well as responsibility for the “death of two individuals in Pakdasht.” These serious allegations have been raised amid numerous reports in many protest-related cases concerning defendants’ limited access to legal counsel, interrogation pressures, and reliance on confessions obtained under unclear circumstances. Such issues further complicate any impartial assessment of the judicial process and underscore the need for transparency regarding the evidence, the course of proceedings, and the defendants’ right to defense.

Nighttime Slogans in Several Cities; Continuation of Scattered Protests

Amid the ongoing security crackdown, reports and videos have circulated of anti-government slogans being heard in several cities and neighborhoods. According to published footage, in cities including Karaj and Babol, the sound of nighttime slogans chanted by residents could be heard in certain areas.

Additionally, reports have emerged of anti-government slogans being heard in parts of Tehran, including the Chitgar area, and videos from Kermanshah have also been shared on social media.

In recent weeks, such nighttime slogans have become more prominent as one of the forms of continued protest under conditions of intensified security presence and increasing arrests.

In the sphere of international responses, Canada announced the imposition of additional sanctions against seven individuals affiliated with the Iranian government, stating that its regional policy is focused on the issue of human rights repression. Within this framework, Canadian officials have also emphasized the continuation of a pressure-based and restrictive approach toward actors and institutions linked to the crackdown.

According to published information, Canada has so far placed 222 Iranian individuals and 256 Iranian entities on its sanctions list. These sanctions, alongside other measures, indicate that the suppression of protests and its human rights consequences play a significant role in diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Arrests and Crackdowns Continue; Focus on Teenagers, Students, and Provincial Detentions

On the forty-ninth day, HRANA’s reports indicate the continuation of arrests across several cities and provinces. A significant portion of these detentions involve teenagers and school students, and in some cases have been accompanied by transfers to juvenile detention centers and subsequent release on bail.

In Ilam Province, eight citizens, Mehdi Namizadeh, Ali Namizadeh, Younes Nasseri, Yousef Azadkhani, Ali Hatami, Hassan Mohammadi, Nabi Zamani, and Abdolsahab Jafarzadeh, were arrested in recent days by security forces. In Kurdistan Province, Milad Ebrahimi was arrested in Kamyaran. As of the time of this report, no further details have been published regarding the reasons for their arrests, their place of detention, or the charges against them, contributing to ongoing uncertainty about their legal and security status.

In a separate report, eight additional citizens were arrested in various cities, six of whom were identified as teenagers or school students. Among them are 17-year-old student Saeed Kalhor, along with Meysam Dehvari and Yaser Azadeh. Three other teenagers, Amirhossein Darabi, Sarina Rezaei, and Mobina Ashouri, were also listed among the detainees. The report further refers to the arrest of two university students, Mehran Khani and Arian Hosseini. These arrests reportedly took place in the cities of Neyshabur, Qazvin, Isfahan, Bijar, Saravan, and Tehran—demonstrating that detentions continue in a multi-centered and dispersed pattern across different parts of the country.

Within the same set of developments, two other teenagers who had previously been detained were released on bail. Meysam Damandan, a 17-year-old, and Farhan Pasaj, a 15-year-old, were released from the Yazd Juvenile Correction and Rehabilitation Center after posting bail. The explicit reference to the transfer of minors to juvenile correctional facilities once again highlights the security-judicial approach toward individuals under 18 and its psychological and legal implications, particularly as HRANA’s aggregated data show a rising number of child fatalities, now reaching 224.

Meanwhile, official media outlets reported the arrest of a teenager in Talesh and “several individuals” in Golestan Province in connection with the protests. At the same time, a video containing forced confessions by two individuals was published, though the circumstances of the recording and how the statements were obtained remain unclear. The absence of details regarding the exact number of detainees in Golestan, their identities, the arresting authority, and their place of detention reflects a recurring pattern in official reporting on security crackdowns, often accompanied by the release of promotional content or televised-media confessions, limiting the possibility of independent verification.

Overall, the arrests on the forty-ninth day point to several notable features: first, the continuation of scattered arrests across various provinces without clear explanations regarding charges or judicial procedures; second, the significant proportion of individuals under 18 among those detained; and third, the continued use of psychological and media tools, such as the publication of forced confessions, alongside detention in undisclosed conditions. Taken together, these trends indicate that the security response to the protests extends beyond the streets, encompassing a wide range of judicial, security, and media measures.

The notable presence of teenagers and school students among those detained was one of the concerning indicators of the day. At the same time, the process of judicial case-building continued with the trial of three detainees at the Tehran Revolutionary Court and the filing of serious charges against them.

Meanwhile, nighttime slogans in several cities demonstrated that despite intensified security pressure, lower-risk forms of protest remain ongoing. On the international level, Canada’s new sanctions against individuals linked to the government aligned with broader reactions centered on the “repression and human rights violations” associated with the protests.
