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 Justiceuses 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.

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. Monireh Arabshahi, Yasaman Ariani, Sakineh Parvaneh, Arsham Rezaei, Yashar Tabrizi, Zartosht Ahmadi Ragheb, Seyyed Afkham Ebrahimi, Siros Gharche, Sadegh Omidi, Moein Hajizadeh, Mohammad Khani and Mohammad Irannezhad, also reacted to this event by signing either a joint statement or going on a limited hunger strike.
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. Before that, Human Rights Activists (in Iran) and 12 other human rights organizations issued another statement calling for the international community’s intervention to counter the oppression of women and protesters by the Iranian government. Also, Human Rights Activists (in Iran) with 19 human rights organizations, in a letter addressed to the President of the United States, Joe Biden, asked him to fulfill his promise to confront authoritarian and repression in Iran.
Furthermore, the Association for the Protection of Children’s Rights issued a statement calling for an immediate end to any violence against children and declared its readiness to negotiate with the judicial authorities for the release of the arrested children.
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.
Governments, Politicians, and Foreign Institutions
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.
Senator Adam Schiff, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Republican member of the US House of Representatives Michael McCaul spoke about oppression against women and injustice towards protesters.
Annalena Baerbock, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany, also described the attack on brave Iranian women as an attack on humanity and called for recognition of women’s rights 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. The Iranian regime must respect and ensure the fundamental rights of Iran’s citizens and that those who are under any form of detention are not subject to violence and mistreatment.”

On October 10, the 20th anniversary of the World Day Against the Death Penalty, Human Rights Activists in Iran and 58 other human rights organizations issued a joint statement to draw attention to gender bias and discrimination against women and LGBTQIA+, which can negatively impact the judicial process. They also called for the abolition of the death penalty for all offenses.
The following is the full text of this statement:
20TH WORLD DAY AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY
On this 20th anniversary of the World Day Against the Death Penalty dedicated to the link between torture and the use of the death penalty and in continuation of the 2021 World Day Against the Death Penalty dedicated to women facing capital punishment, sentenced to death, executed, pardoned or charged with a capital crime and found not guilty, the members of the World Coalition and allies of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals sentenced to death take this opportunity to:
Draw attention to gender bias in the use of torture in the judicial process leading to the imposition of the death penalty. Women and LGBTQIA+ individuals are particularly at risk to abuse, including physical, sexual, and psychological torture. In addition, women victims of gender-based violence, who are over-represented on death row, are at risk of making false confessions when subjected to coercive investigative methods, especially those carried out by men.
Emphasize that violence against women and LGBTQIA+ individuals in detention – including gender and sexual abuse and harassment, inappropriate touching during searches, rape, and sexual coercion – can rise to the level of torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, in violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention Against Torture (CAT), among others.
Accentuate that women and LGBTQIA+ individuals have specific needs, including sexual and reproductive health care, medical and mental health care, harm reduction services for those using drugs, and protection from gender-based violence, among others. These needs are not systematically considered and covered in prisons, which can turn detention into torture.
Stress that in many countries, particularly those with the mandatory death penalty, women and LGBTQIA+ individuals may be sentenced to death without considering their experiences of gender-based violence, among their other vulnerability aspects, prior to incarceration.
More broadly, the members of the World Coalition and allies of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals sentenced to death and at risk of being sentenced to death wish to use this 20th anniversary to:
Emphasize that, as done by the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions in its 2022 report, the death penalty as currently practiced can be considered as torture.
Call attention to the intersectional discrimination and inequalities that women and LGBTQIA+ individuals face, as these can negatively impact the judicial process leading to the death penalty. Pervasive gender biases in criminal legal systems influence: the investigation, through gender bias by law enforcement; the trial, where marginalized women and LGBTQIA+ individuals tend to be denied fair trial; and at the sentencing stage, where mitigating circumstances that might benefit women and LGBTQIA+ individuals sentenced to death are not considered.
Recall that, in violation of international human right law and standards, 12 countries continue to criminalize consensual same-sex relations, imposing the death penalty upon conviction.
Address the recognition of the intersectional dimension of discrimination. An analysis of the profiles of women sentenced to death reveals that most are from ethnic and racial minorities, are non-literate, and live with intellectual or psychological disabilities, often as a result of the gender-based violence they have suffered. Gender-based discrimination does not operate in isolation but is compounded by other forms of discrimination, including discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, sex characteristics, economic status, and disability, among others.
Make visible the lack of accurate and up-to-date data on the number and status of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals sentenced to death, executed, or whose death sentences have been commuted or pardoned.
We recommend that governments in countries that still retain the death penalty:
Abolish the death penalty for all offences, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics;
Establish a moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty, as called for by the UN General Assembly in its resolutions calling for a moratorium on the use of the death penalty;
Pending full abolition, we call on governments to:
Eliminate the death penalty for offences that do not meet the threshold of “most serious crimes” under international law and standards including same-sex relationships and drug offences;
Repeal provisions that allow for the mandatory imposition of the death penalty, which does not allow judges to consider the circumstances of the offence for the defendant at sentencing;
Commute the sentences of women sentenced to death for killing close family members who perpetrated gender-based violence against them and for women sentenced to death for drug trafficking and other offenses that do not involve the loss of human life;
Acknowledge the compounding forms of violence and discrimination experienced by girls, women and LGBTQIA+ individuals – including gender-based violence, early and forced marriage;
Review laws, criminal procedures, and judicial practices and implement policies and legislative reforms to protect women and LGBTQIA+ individuals from violence and discrimination;
Ensure that the criminal legal system takes full account of any mitigating factors linked to women’s and LGBTQIA+ individuals’ backgrounds, including evidence of prior abuse as well as psycho-social and intellectual disabilities;
Ensure publicly available disaggregated data on people sentenced to death, their profile, age, gender, the courts that have pronounced the judgements charges and places of detention;
Prevent the disproportionate detention and prosecution of women for “moral and sexual” crimes and of people for their sexual orientation and decriminalize such offenses;
Promote the training of all those involved in the investigation, legal defense, prosecution, trial, adjudication and conviction of crimes involving women on gender-based discrimination and violence, pathways to crime, and gender-sensitive mitigations;
Ensure that all those facing the death penalty have access to free and effective legal representation by counsel with experience representing individuals charged with capital offences and who are trained to recognize and bring forward mitigating factors, including those linked to gender-based discrimination and violence;
Develop and implement programs to prevent gender-based violence and discrimination, and to promote the human rights of women, girls and LGBTQIA individuals+;
Guarantee access to consular assistance for foreign women charged with death-eligible offenses, as required by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations;
In accordance with the Bangkok Rules and the Mandela Rules, adopt gender-sensitive policies regarding the detention of women, ensuring their safety and security before trial, during admission to prison, and while incarcerated.

Security forces arrested women rights activist Avin Rasti and transferred her to an unidentified location on September 20, 2022, for her participation in protests after the death of Mahsa Amini.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, women rights activist Avin Rasti was arrested in Mariwan, Kurdistan Province.
Since the nationwide protests began after the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, numerous individuals have been arrested.
So far, HRANA has identified several individuals who have been arrested, including Mehdi Hamidi Shafigh in Tabriz, Shoja Roushan in Sanandaj, Nazanin Jalil, Neda Mousavi, Keyvan Mousavi, Yamin Daneshi in Yasuj, Sooran Mohammadian, and Samku Mohammadian in Divandarreh, and Leila Abbasi in Bijar.
Additional 19 individuals have been arrested and jailed in Saqqez Prison, and the deputy police chief of Gilan Province announced the arrest of 22 protestors in Rasht.
The Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced Melika Gharagozlou, a student of journalism at Allameh Tabatabaei University, to four years and four months in prison and additional penalties.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, Melika Gharagozlou was sentenced to four years and four months in prison.
According to this verdict, Gharagozlou was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison on the charge of “assembly and collusion”, eight months on the charge of “propaganda against the regime”, and pay a fine of 8 million tomans. If the verdict is upheld on appeal, based on Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, three years and eight months for the first charge will be enforceable to her.
As additional punishment, the court has also banned Gharagozlou from leaving the country and membership in political groups.
On July 13, 2022, security forces arrested Gharagozlou after she published a video of herself without a headscarf.
Gharagozlou faced arrests and convictions for her civil activities in 2019.
On September 16, 2022, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-woman who was hospitalized following being arrested by the police for her improper hejab, died at a hospital. Her death sparked widespread condemnation on social media and the reactions of numerous public figures, athletes and artists.
Amini was visiting Tehran from the Kurdistan region with her family. She was stopped by the Morality Police in Tehran and taken to the Vozara Station, where she underwent a stroke for unknown reasons.
An informed source told HRANA that during the arrest, the police told Amini’s brother that she would be released in an hour. However, she was taken to Kasra Hospital after a few hours. Some eyewitnesses leaving the detention facility stated that the detained women’s families who were present at the place and witnessing Amini’s condition began to protest. The police used violence and pepper spray to silence them.”
The Morality Police has a history of mistreating the individuals it collects from the streets. Therefore, people speculate that Amini is a victim of police brutality. Amnesty International has also called Amini’s death suspicious.
Earlier, the Greater Tehran police chief had claimed that Amini was taken to a police station where during an educational class, she suddenly had a heart attack, which her family denied.
