Security Forces Search Homes of 11 Baha’i Citizens in Borujerd and Aligudarz, Seal 5 Businesses

HRANA – On Monday, security agents searched the homes of six Baha’i citizens in Borujerd and sealed the workplaces of three of them. At the same time, the homes of five Baha’i citizens in Aligudarz were searched, and the workplaces of two individuals were sealed. During the searches, some religious items and personal belongings, including mobile phones and identity documents, were confiscated.

Based on information received by HRANA, on Monday, February 2, 2026, the family homes of six Baha’i citizens in Borujerd County were searched, and the businesses of three of them were sealed. Simultaneously, the family homes of five Baha’i citizens in Aligudarz were searched by agents of The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility, and the workplace of one of them was sealed. In addition, a commercial unit belonging to a non-Baha’i citizen, where one of the Baha’i individuals was employed, was also sealed in Aligudarz.

According to an informed source, during the searches, security agents confiscated religious materials and personal belongings, including mobile phones, valuable items such as gold and cash, bank cards, birth certificates, national ID cards, passports, laptops, computer cases, and other digital devices. Security agents also told the Baha’i citizens in Aligudarz that they would return to their homes again, and threatened that judicial rulings would be issued against them and their property would be confiscated.

One of the homes in Borujerd was searched while the residents were not present, and agents entered the house by breaking down the door.

Further details, including the identities of these citizens, are under investigation by HRANA.

Over the past decade, the Baha’i community in Iran has been subjected to more security and judicial actions than any other religious minority. HRA’s annual report indicates that, over the past year, an average of 62.41% of reports concerning religious minorities were related to violations of the rights of Baha’i citizens.

Nationwide Protests: At Least 1,098 Citizens Arrested

HRANA – During the nationwide protests, at least 706 citizens were arrested in the cities of Dezful, Yazd, Borujen, Borujerd, and Nur. In addition, the Public Security Police of FARAJA reported the arrest of 327 protesters nationwide since December 28. The General Directorate of Intelligence of Hormozgan Province also announced the arrest of 65 citizens in connection with the protests in the province.

According to IRNA, the Lorestan Police Information Center claimed that an individual accused of killing a Basij member named Seyed Mohammad Javad Monavvar and injuring his son, Seyed Mohammad Naeim Monavvar, in the city of Borujerd, had been identified and arrested. It was alleged that the accused confessed to the killing during interrogations.

In another report, IRNA announced the arrest of 13 protesting citizens in Nur County, claiming that a large number of bladed weapons were confiscated from them and that they were accused of damaging public property.

IRNA also reported the arrest of 452 protesting citizens in Dezful County. According to this report, 19 individuals were arrested under the charge of being “main leaders of the protests,” and 21 others for being “responsible for spreading protest calls.”

The Dezful police commander claimed that firearms, bladed weapons, and incendiary materials were discovered and confiscated from the accused.

Meanwhile, the state broadcaster reported that the Public Security Police of FARAJA had arrested 327 protesting citizens nationwide since December 22, 2025. The media outlet claimed that these individuals were members of 57 organized networks and were accused of damaging public property. Allegations of discovering weapons and incendiary materials were also raised in connection with these arrests.

Additionally, the broadcaster reported the arrest of 27 citizens in Yazd on charges described as “filming and sending content to hostile media outlets.”

Ahmad Negahban, the commander of Yazd Province’s law enforcement forces, claimed that these individuals had filmed and photographed damage to public property and sent the images to Persian-language media outlets based outside the country.

In another report, the state broadcaster announced the arrest of 213 protesting citizens in Borujen, stating that 30 of them were detained under the charge of being “main leaders of the protests.”

The General Directorate of Intelligence of Hormozgan Province also announced, in a statement, the arrest of 65 citizens in connection with the protests. These individuals were accused of “setting fire to mosques, public and service facilities, buses, and attacking military and law enforcement centers in the province.”

These reports do not mention the identities of the detained citizens or their places of detention.

It should be noted that gatherings and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, 2025, and after two days spread beyond bazaars and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests have become one of the most widespread demonstrations in recent years. For more information, readers can refer to HRANA’s detailed report published last night on the thirty-second day since the start of the protests.

Detailed Report on the Tenth Day of Protests: 36 Dead in 285 Demonstrations

HRANA – Today marked the tenth consecutive day of protests and strikes by citizens across various cities in Iran. Reports indicate that violence by law enforcement and security forces has extended to medical centers as well, with some facilities subjected to intervention and attack. Over the past days, at least 285 locations in 92 cities across 27 provinces have witnessed protest gatherings. During these events, at least 2,076 citizens have been arrested, and at least 36 people have lost their lives, including 34 protesters and two members of security and law enforcement forces.

Protests that initially began with strikes and labor-related gatherings have entered a new phase on their tenth day. Alongside the continuation of some labor actions, reports point to the emergence of street demonstrations, the expansion of strikes by shopkeepers, and student protests at a number of universities. At the same time, there are reports that violence by law enforcement and security forces has extended to medical facilities, including attacks on hospitals.

Background of the Protests

The new wave of protests has emerged at a time when economic pressure on broad segments of society has reached a critical point, and clear signs of disruption to citizens’ daily livelihoods are evident. The continuous rise in exchange rates, chronic market instability, and the steady decline in purchasing power have darkened and destabilized the economic outlook for households and business owners alike, turning financial insecurity into a widespread experience.

In the days leading up to the start of these protests, reports indicated that currency rates had surpassed unprecedented levels, coinciding with a downturn in the capital market and an intensification of capital outflows. Analysts have interpreted this trend as a shift of liquidity toward safer markets such as gold and foreign currency, as well as a sign of declining public confidence in economic policies. The social consequences of this situation have included widespread closures or partial shutdowns of businesses, increasing difficulty for small enterprises to continue operating, and ultimately the spread of protests and strikes in various cities. These demonstrations are seen less as reactions to a single, temporary trigger and more as the result of the long-term accumulation of economic pressures and the ongoing erosion of hope for improvements in economic and social conditions.

Geography of the Protests

Based on updated and consolidated data, over the past 10 days at least 285 locations across Iran have witnessed protests, street gatherings, or labor strikes. These protest activities have been reported in 27 provinces nationwide, and at the same time, 22 universities have seen protest actions by students.

On the tenth day of the protests, demonstrations were held in the cities of Mashhad, Qazvin, Abdanan, Tehran, Shiraz, Bandar Abbas, Zanjan, Ilam, Malekshahi, Shahrekord, Yazdanshahr, Kavar, Asadabad, Babol, Marvdasht, and Borujerd.

One of the most significant protest focal points today in Iran was the demonstrations by bazaar merchants. Today, strikes took place in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, particularly concentrated in the main corridors, including the gold and currency market, the fabric market, and parts of the footwear and home appliances sections. A considerable number of business units were either fully or partially closed. Reports indicate that this strike emerged spontaneously, without any formal call, and that the main grievances of merchants were sharp currency fluctuations, the surge in gold prices, market stagnation, and the severe decline in purchasing power.

Following the closure of shops, the presence of security and law enforcement forces increased at the entrances to the bazaar and at intersections leading to it, and in some areas the formation of gatherings was prevented. Nevertheless, the strike caused a noticeable disruption to the bazaar’s daily activities and a reduction in customer traffic, and is being assessed as one of the most significant manifestations of the link between street protests and occupational discontent in Tehran.

Forms of Protest and Slogans

A review of verified reports indicates that the protests on the tenth day, similar to previous days, encompassed a wide range of demands. The content of slogans chanted during the gatherings was not limited solely to livelihood and economic issues, but also reflected criticism of governance structures, opposition to restrictions imposed on individual and social freedoms, and demands for justice.

Within the framework of its human rights mandate, HRANA focuses its reporting on slogans and demands that are directly related to violations of, or calls for, human rights, fundamental freedoms, and citizens’ civil rights. The persistence of these demands across various parts of the country points to the depth of public dissatisfaction and the overlap of economic, social, and political grievances within the context of the ongoing protests.

Conduct of Law Enforcement and Security Forces and Details of Violence

On the tenth day of the nationwide protests, reports received by HRANA indicate the continuation of a heavy security atmosphere in various cities across the country. These reports suggest that law enforcement and security forces have continued to use various repressive measures aimed at preventing the formation or expansion of protest gatherings.

Documented instances of the suppression of protests over the past day include the use of pellet guns, deployment of tear gas, and direct attacks on demonstrators.

At the same time, official accounts presented by some local authorities regarding the deaths do not fully align with eyewitness testimonies and unofficial reports. For this reason, details surrounding how these incidents occurred remain under review and subject to further verification.

Deaths and Injuries

According to HRANA’s updated data, at least 36 people have been confirmed killed during the past ten days of protests. Among them were four individuals under the age of 18, as well as two members of security and law enforcement forces. In addition, dozens of cases of injuries among protesting citizens have been recorded so far. According to reports, these injuries were mostly caused by pellet and plastic bullets.

Over the past 24 hours, HRANA has confirmed the identities of Mohammadreza Karami, (Lieutenant) Ehsan Aghajani, and Ali Golfroosh as individuals killed during the protests.

On the same date, Sadegh Parvizadeh, a wildlife photographer and videographer, announced in a video posted on his Instagram page that he had been struck in the face and eye by pellets during the protests. In part of the video, while showing samples of the pellets fired, he stated: “The person who shot me was a teenager under the age of 20. What occupies my mind is that killing a human being was really like hunting prey or a game to him.”

Tasnim News Agency, which is close to security institutions, reported that based on presented statistics, from the beginning of the protests up to last night, around 568 law enforcement personnel and 66 Basij forces were injured. The outlet further claimed that among them, two were injured by live ammunition, 152 by shotgun pellets, and 11 by knife attacks.

Security Forces’ Raids on Medical Centers: Attacks on Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam and Sina Hospital in Tehran

Amid developments in the nationwide protests in Iran, reports indicate that security forces have attacked and entered at least two medical centers in the cities of Ilam and Tehran, incidents that have sparked widespread domestic reactions and heightened concerns over violations of the security of medical facilities and patients’ rights.

Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ilam: Tear Gas in a Treatment Facility

According to published videos and reports, on Saturday evening, January 3, security forces surrounded Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam and attempted to arrest a number of protesters injured in Malekshahi who had been transferred there for treatment.

Reports indicate that patients’ families and some medical staff opposed the entry of security forces, leading to verbal and physical altercations. Subsequently, images were released showing tear gas being fired inside the hospital grounds and buildings, an action that created emergency conditions in treatment wards and caused alarm among patients and staff. Eyewitnesses stated that several patients experienced breathing difficulties following the dispersal of tear gas.

In response, the Ministry of Health issued a statement announcing that, by order of the Minister of Health, the matter was being examined “urgently,” emphasizing the need to safeguard the security of medical centers, patients, and healthcare workers. Additionally, by order of Masoud Pezeshkian, the Minister of Interior was tasked with following up on the incident and submitting a report. Meanwhile, Fars News Agency, which is close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, confirmed the presence of security forces at the hospital but claimed that some protesters had used the medical facility “to hide.”

Sina Hospital, Tehran: Arrests of the Injured and a Security Atmosphere

Parallel to the events in Ilam, reports published today, Tuesday, January 6, from Tehran indicate that security forces also entered Sina Hospital. According to these reports, a number of protesters injured during demonstrations and transferred to the hospital for treatment were arrested by security forces inside or around the hospital.

Eyewitnesses told media outlets that the presence of security forces on hospital grounds created an atmosphere of fear and disrupted the treatment process, with some families reportedly avoiding medical centers out of fear of arrest.

As of the time of this report, officials have not provided a clear explanation regarding the details of the operation at Sina Hospital.

Arrests

Over the ten days of protests, at least 2,076 protesting citizens have been arrested; however, the actual number of detainees is estimated to be significantly higher.

Of these, 878 individuals were either arrested on the tenth day of protests or had been detained earlier but were confirmed by HRANA today. This includes the transfer of approximately 200 detained women to Kachooie Prison in Karaj and 500 detained men to the Central Prison of Karaj.

Other detained protesters whose identities have been individually confirmed on this day are listed in an appendix at the end of this report.

So far, at least 15 videos of forced confessions by detainees have been broadcast by official media outlets or those close to security institutions, videos for which it remains unclear under what conditions individuals were compelled to confess against themselves.

International Reactions

As nationwide protests continue in Iran and security crackdowns intensify, international reactions and statements have also persisted.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed concern over recent developments in Iran, stating that he was “deeply saddened” by the killing and injury of protesters and stressing the need to prevent further loss of life. He called on Iranian authorities to respect the rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and peaceful protest, and to allow people to express their grievances peacefully.

The Persian-language account of the U.S. State Department on X, referring to yesterday’s raid by security forces on Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, described the action as a “clear crime against humanity” and wrote that hospitals are not battlefields. The statement added that the actions of the Islamic Republic constitute a gross violation of international law and demonstrate a complete disregard for human life.

Amnesty International, condemning the attack by security forces on a hospital in Ilam that was being used to treat or shelter injured protesters, described the incident as a clear violation of international law. The organization emphasized that the attack once again shows how far Iranian authorities are willing to go to suppress protests and silence dissent.

Reaction of Iranian Government Officials

In response to U.S. warnings, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described these positions as “psychological warfare” and sought to frame them as part of a media and external pressure campaign.

The most significant focal point of domestic reactions on the tenth day was the release of a video showing security forces raiding Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, an incident highlighted as a sensitive turning point in media coverage. According to accounts, protesters injured in Malekshahi had been transferred to the hospital, after which the facility was surrounded. Security forces attempted to enter and arrest some of the injured but faced resistance from families and medical staff. Subsequently, images emerged showing tear gas being fired inside the hospital building.

In response, the Ministry of Health issued a statement announcing that the matter was under serious review “by explicit order of the Minister of Health” and would be pursued “within the framework of the law,” emphasizing the security of medical centers, patients’ rights, and support for healthcare workers.

At the same time, Masoud Pezeshkian ordered an investigation into the incident, and according to BBC reports, Eskandar Momeni (Minister of Interior) assigned a delegation to follow up and submit a report.

On the political and economic front, Masoud Pezeshkian, speaking at an official ceremony in an unusually candid tone, placed responsibility for the current situation on the governing structure, stating that “the parliament and the government together have brought the country to this point,” and emphasizing that “we are all to blame.” This stance was reflected in coverage of the tenth day as a sign of social pressure and a crisis of governance.

In contrast, media outlets close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including Fars News Agency (as reported by the BBC), confirmed the presence of security forces at the hospital but claimed that protesters had used the hospital as a “stronghold”, a narrative aimed at justifying and reframing the security forces’ actions.

Meanwhile, the public and revolutionary prosecutor of Shahrod stated that protesters’ voices should be heard, but warned that those who engage in what he described as “rioting” would face the law.

Domestic Reactions (Civil Society, Labor Groups, and Public Figures)

Alongside official reactions, part of the tenth day’s responses included expressions of solidarity from artists, as well as supportive actions abroad.

The Teachers’ Trade Association of Aligudarz issued a statement in support of the recent protests, declaring that the expansion of poverty, corruption, discrimination, special privileges, unemployment, and runaway inflation has pushed society to a point of despair and anger. The statement noted that the loss of hope for the future has turned employment, marriage, and housing into unattainable dreams for young people, creating a generation with nothing left to lose. According to the association, despite all the risks, protesters have courageously put their lives and health on the line to voice their demands in the streets.

Continuing reactions from sports and cultural figures, Mohammad Khakpour, former captain of Iran’s national football team, criticized labeling protesters as “rioters,” writing that people crushed by inflation, unemployment, and insecurity cannot be silenced with a label. Ali Ghamsari, a musician and composer, described the protests as stemming from poverty and hardship, emphasizing that they are rooted in concern for the country and a sense of social responsibility. Alireza Haghighi, former national team goalkeeper, also shared a message stating that protesting is not a crime—the real crime is not listening to the people’s voices.

Ali Daei, a legendary Iranian footballer, criticized the economic situation, saying that the sharp rise in the dollar exchange rate shows officials have become disconnected from the people’s suffering, and stressed that nothing can replace the people of Iran. Pantea Bahram, a theater and film actress, also expressed solidarity with protesting bazaar merchants and announced that she was joining the strikes. Alireza Ghorbani, a traditional music singer, citing the country’s current conditions and the hardships imposed on the people, announced the postponement of his “Iranam” concert in Tabriz and other upcoming performances, stating that holding concerts at this time does not align with the public mood.
