Despite four years having passed since Mahsa Amini’s death, there has yet to be effective judicial accountability regarding the circumstances of her death or the responsibility of the individuals and institutions involved, and no reports have been published to date of anyone being tried or punished in connection with her death. Iranian authorities have from the outset denied that her death was linked to violence or physical mistreatment by officers. The United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, however, concluded after reviewing evidence that Amini was subjected to physical violence while in custody that led to her death, and that the Iranian state bears responsibility for her unlawful death.

Mahsa (Jina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Saqqez who had traveled to Tehran, was arrested by morality police officers at Tehran’s Haqqani Metro Station on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, over what authorities deemed improper hijab. Hours after her arrest, she was transferred in critical condition to the intensive care unit at Kasra Hospital after falling into a coma with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3. She later died at the hospital. The explanations provided by Iran’s Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA) in defense of its conduct regarding Amini’s death, together with the police force’s record and widespread public dissatisfaction with the institution known as the morality police, led to months of widespread protests across many parts of the country.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.

Humanitarian Obligations

HRA reiterates that all parties to the conflict are bound by international humanitarian law and must at all times distinguish between civilians and combatants, and between civilian objects and military objectives. Attacks directed against civilians or civilian objects, as well as indiscriminate attacks, are prohibited. All parties are required to take all feasible precautions to minimize civilian harm and to protect facilities afforded special protection, including medical units, schools, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population.

HRA further underscores the obligation under human rights law of the Islamic Republic of Iran to ensure access to information. Authorities must refrain from imposing internet shutdowns, communication disruptions, or other restrictions that impede the flow of information, obstruct documentation efforts, or prevent families from obtaining information about the fate and whereabouts of their relatives. Transparency and access to information are essential for civilian protection and the effective delivery of humanitarian assistance.

As seen in the documentation in this report, armed conflict brings profound destruction and suffering to civilians and deepens humanitarian crises. HRA calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a renewed commitment to a peaceful resolution grounded in international law. The continued loss of civilian life, including that of children, underscores the urgent need to prioritize the protection of human life above all else.

The protection of civilians and the safeguarding of fundamental rights, including access to information, are binding legal obligations. The pursuit of peace remains essential to preventing further harm.
