Assets of 52 Citizens Seized in Zanjan; Seven Arrested

HRANA – The Judiciary’s Media Center announced the seizure of assets belonging to 52 citizens in Zanjan Province. Seven of the individuals, who reside in Iran, have been arrested.

According to Mizan News Agency, the Chief Justice of Zanjan Province announced the confiscation of assets belonging to a number of citizens in the province.

According to the report, the assets of 52 individuals described as β€œlinked to networks cooperating with the enemy” were seized by judicial order. The confiscated assets include bank holdings, cash and foreign currency, movable and immovable property, and gold. Seven of these individuals have been arrested, while the remaining owners are reportedly residing outside the country.

The report states that of the total confiscations, 33 cases were in the city of Zanjan, 15 in Abhar, and three in Khorramdarreh. In addition, the assets of another individual with property in Tehran and Khodabandeh County were also seized.

The Chief Justice of Zanjan Province claimed that the measure was carried out within the framework of β€œprotecting public rights” and based on laws related to β€œespionage and cooperation with the Zionist regime.” He added that the cases against these individuals are under investigation.

The report did not disclose the identities of the individuals, the exact timing of the arrests, the locations where the detainees are being held, or details of the charges brought against them.

Following the start of military attacks on Iran, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of the judiciary, announced that judicial orders had been issued to confiscate and seize assets linked to what he described as β€œelements cooperating with the enemy inside and outside the country.” He also threatened these individuals with execution, stating: β€œOne of the punishments prescribed in this regard is execution, and following investigations, one of the legal punishments will be applied to the individuals concerned.”

Following the issuance of this directive by the judiciary, the β€œSaham” smart financial inquiry system was launched. Through this system, prosecutor’s offices and courts across the country are now able to quickly and online identify citizens’ assets and property and take the necessary steps to confiscate them.

Report on the Arrest and Broadcast of Forced Confessions of a Woman in Zanjan

HRANA – A woman in Zanjan has been arrested on charges including insulting religious sanctities, communicating with foreign-based media outlets, and allegedly sending military images and information to those outlets. Simultaneously, a video purportedly showing the woman’s forced confessions has been released, although the circumstances under which the footage was recorded remain unclear.

According to a report by Mehr News Agency, a woman was arrested in Zanjan. Based on the report, the arrest was carried out on charges of insulting religious sanctities, communicating with the media outlets Manoto and Iran International, and sending military images and information to these outlets.

A video containing the forced confessions of this citizen has also been published, though it remains unclear under what circumstances the recording was obtained.

The report does not mention the identity of the arrested individual, the date of her arrest, or the location where she is being held.

It should be noted that protests and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, 2025, and within two days spread beyond markets and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests became one of the largest protest movements of recent years. Following the crackdown by security and law enforcement forces, thousands were killed or injured, and tens of thousands were arrested or summoned by security agencies. For more information, readers may refer to HRANA’s comprehensive report titled β€œCrimson Winter,” documenting the first fifty days following the outbreak of Iran’s nationwide protests.

Day 29 of U.S. and Israeli Attacks on Iran: Strikes on Hundreds of Targets in Residential Areas

HRANA– In the last 24 hours, and as of March 28, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 701 attacks across 278 incidents in 21 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 173 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). The attacks over the past day, in terms of number, rank among the highest recorded since the beginning of the war. Of these, 74% of the strikes occurred in Tehran. Various locations in urban and residential areas have borne the brunt of the attacks.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 28, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 24 civilians were killed and 88 civilians were injured.

Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on February 28, 2026, based on incidents recorded in the incident tab and using minimum values for figures marked β€œmore than”:

β€’ Civilian fatalities: 1,551 people (including at least 236 children)

β€’ Military fatalities: 1,208 people

β€’ Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 702 people

Note on Official Statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reports, several aggregated official statistics were also published today by state media, including:

The Ministry of Health announced: β€œSo far, more than 230 children have been killed and around 1,800 children have been injured. According to this report, 244 women, 214 children under 18, and 17 children under 5 have been killed. Healthcare worker fatalities: 24.”
The head of the Center for Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Education stated: β€œSince the beginning of the Zionist-American war against our country, 252 students and teachers have been killed, and 184 members of the education community have been injured.”
The Ministry of Health reported the latest casualty figures as of day 29 of the war: β€œCurrently hospitalized: 831 individuals; treated and discharged: 24,175 individuals.”

As these figures have been presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific events, they have not been included in the event-based calculations reflected in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this overview, and are mentioned here solely as a record of official statements.

1. Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities. In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as β€œundetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.

Preliminary analysis indicates that Tehran Province, with a 74% share, ranks at the top of the list of provinces that have been targeted. Alborz Province, with a significant gap from Tehran Province, comes in second with an 11% share, while Isfahan Province ranks third with a 5% share. Following these are Khuzestan Province, Yazd Province, Zanjan Province, and East Azerbaijan Province, respectively.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 29 distinct objects or facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.

Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:

β€’ Shahid Kobraei Army Base (Aran va Bidgol)

β€’ Headquarters of the 44th Artillery Group (Isfahan)

β€’ Headquarters of the Asef Brigade (Minab)

β€’ Amir al-Momenin Headquarters (Isfahan)

β€’ Technical Center affiliated with the Defense Industries (Tehran)

For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:

β€’ A building at Iran University of Science and Technology (Tehran)

β€’ Shahid Aabsalan Clinic (Minab)

β€’ A 10,000-cubic-meter water reservoir (Haftgel)

β€’ A four-story residential building (Savojbolagh)

β€’ A livestock farm in Shahabiyeh village (Khomein)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least 24 civilian citizens, including 8 children and 6 women, have been killed, and 88 civilians, including 3 children and 3 women, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the reporting period, 41 military personnel were killed. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

In the past 24 hours, seven deaths and 13 injuries have been reported but remain classified as undetermined. This means that HRANA News Agency has not yet been able to establish with sufficient certainty whether these individuals were civilians or military personnel.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

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.

Nationwide Protests: 140 Protesters Arrested in Various Cities

HRANA – State media reported the arrest of additional protesters: 85 protesting citizens were detained in Zanjan Province, 12 in Tehran, and 43 in Yazd Province. At the same time, forced confessions by six of those detained in Tehran have been released, though it is unclear under what conditions they were recorded.

In a statement, the Zanjan Provincial Intelligence Department described these citizens as β€œleaders of the protests” and claimed that β€œfirearms and incendiary materials” were discovered in their possession.

Meanwhile, the Young Journalists Club reported the arrest of 12 citizens in Tehran’s Sattarkhan district. This outlet has published a video containing confessions by six of these individuals, though it is not known under what circumstances the footage was obtained.

These reports do not mention the identities of those arrested or their places of detention.

It is worth noting that gatherings and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, and after two days expanded 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 of recent years. For more information, readers can refer to HRANA’s detailed report published last night on the thirty-third day since the start of the protests.

At least 12 Prisoners Executed on Murder and Drug-Related Charges

In many of these cases, due to secrecy, prisoners were even denied the right to a final visit with their families.

From the Streets to Universities: Iran’s Protests Enter Their Eleventh Day

HRANA –The eleventh day of nationwide protests in Iran, on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, unfolded amid heightened security measures and ongoing arrests. Despite these pressures, demonstrations continued across multiple parts of the country. At least 37 cities witnessed protests in the form of street gatherings, protest actions, or labor strikes, spanning 24 provinces, a scale that underscores the sustained nationwide character of the unrest.

At the same time, 10 universities joined the protest movement, highlighting the continued and active role of academic institutions. With the inclusion of data from the eleventh day, a total of 348 protest sites, including 45 universities across 111 cities in 31 provinces, have experienced protests over the past eleven days.

Protests in Iran have now entered their eleventh day. The geographic scope of the recent unrest has made it one of the most widespread protest waves in recent years in terms of spatial distribution.

Background of the Protests

The protests on the eleventh day emerged against a backdrop in which the economic crisis and livelihood instability have gone beyond the stage of warning. Rapidly rising prices, the continuous devaluation of the national currency, and the inability of a large segment of society to meet basic needs have turned economic pressure into a daily reality for millions of citizens. Under such conditions, protest is no longer merely an emotional reaction to an isolated event, but rather a reflection of the long-term erosion of public trust in economic and administrative policies.

On the eleventh day, the simultaneous presence of street protests, active participation by universities, and signs of labor-related discontent demonstrated that the scope of protests has expanded beyond livelihood demands and now reflects deeper dissatisfaction with governance practices, the lack of accountability, and the closure of legal avenues for protest. The persistence of demonstrations, despite widespread arrests and security pressure, indicates that a significant portion of society now views the cost of protest as lower than the cost of silence and inaction.

nationwide protests Day 11

Geographic Scope and Focal Points of the Protests

According to recorded data, protests on the eleventh day took place in 37 cities across 24 provinces. These figures indicate an increase in the number of protesting cities compared to previous days. Provincial dispersion has remained high, reflecting the diffuse nature of the protests rather than their concentration in a few specific locations.

From a cumulative perspective, over the past eleven days, at least 111 cities in 31 provinces have witnessed protests at least once. This breadth demonstrates that the protests are not confined to specific ethnic or economic regions; rather, they have emerged across diverse urban and provincial contexts and continue in a networked and sustained manner.

Cities including Gonabad, Isfahan, Shahrza, Tehran, Shiraz, Falavarjan, Bandar Abbas, Zanjan, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Qom, Bojnord, Semnan, Nishapur, Mashhad, Kerman, Lordegan, Pordanjan, Fasa, Chaboksar, Asaluyeh, Tabriz, Rasht, Karaj, Abadan, Borujen, Urmia, Shahrekord, Gilangharb, Zahedan, Fardis, Astara, Aligudarz, Holeylan, Tonekabon, Chenaran, and Gorgan were among those where protests were reported today.

Universities and the Role of Students

On the eleventh day, 10 universities were reported as active protest sites. With these cases included, the total number of universities that have witnessed protests over the past eleven days has reached 35. The continued presence of universities in this wave of protests highlights the persistence of student discontent and the role of universities as spaces for the production and reproduction of protest.

Alongside their sectoral and educational demands, students have increasingly reacted to broader economic and political issues. This trend has strengthened the connection between campus-based and street protests, preventing the isolation of dissent within a single sphere.

Forms of Protest and Slogans

On the eleventh day of protests, methods of protest action remained diverse. Street gatherings, protest presence in urban centers, and protest activities within universities were among the main forms of expression. This diversity indicates that, despite security pressure, the protests have not been confined to a single, easily controllable pattern and continue to reproduce themselves in various forms.

The slogans and messages voiced during the gatherings continued to combine livelihood demands with structural criticism. Rising prices, declining purchasing power, and economic pressure formed the core of many slogans, alongside chants criticizing inefficiency, the lack of responsiveness to public demands, and the overall state of governance. This simultaneity suggests that, in the minds of protesters, the economic crisis and the governance crisis are understood as two facets of a single issue.

Arrests and Intensification of Security Measures

The eleventh day of protests was accompanied by the continuation and consolidation of the authorities’ security-oriented approach. According to aggregated data, a total of 2,217 people have been arrested or identified over the past eleven days. Of these, 558 were individual arrests, while 1,659 were recorded as group arrests or cases without confirmed identities, an approach that reflects security forces’ efforts to exert on-the-ground control through large-scale operations with limited transparency.

On the eleventh day alone, at least 140 people were arrested or identified. Although this figure represents a decrease compared to the tenth day, it still reflects a high level of security intervention and indicates that, despite a relative stabilization in the number of gatherings, the policy of preemptive suppression of protesters continues.

Reports indicate that some of these arrests were carried out not only at protest sites but also through summonses, on-the-ground identification, and follow-up actions, an approach aimed not merely at dispersing gatherings, but at exerting psychological pressure and long-term deterrence.

Arrests of Children, Adolescents, and Students

One of the most concerning features of the current wave of protests is the substantial number of individuals under the age of 18 among those arrested. According to recorded data, 165 detainees over the past eleven days were minors. This figure underscores both the active participation of adolescents and school students in the protests and the intensity of the security forces’ crackdown on this age group.

In addition, 46 students have been arrested during the eleven days of protests. The simultaneous arrest of students alongside the continuation of campus protests indicates that universities remain among the most sensitive centers of dissent and continue to be closely monitored and pressured by security institutions.

Alongside these cases, 40 televised confessions by detained protesters have been broadcast so far. Human rights observers view the continued airing of these confessions, typically recorded under detention and without free access to legal counsel, as a tool for instilling public fear and legitimizing the suppression of protests.

Fatalities and Victims of the Protests

Based on available data, 38 people have lost their lives over the eleven days of protests. This figure includes:

β€’ 29 protesting civilians
β€’ 4 law enforcement-security personnel
β€’ 5 protesters under the age of 18

The presence of children among those killed once again raises serious concerns about the manner in which security forces have responded to the protests and whether the principle of proportionality in the use of force has been observed.

In addition to the fatalities, numerous reports have emerged of citizens being injured during street clashes and security operations. However, due to limited access to field information, the exact number of injured individuals is still being compiled.

Summonses and Security Pressure Beyond the Streets

On the eleventh day, security pressure was not limited to the streets. Reports indicate that a number of citizens were summoned to security institutions. Among them was Keyumars Amiri Kolehjoei, known as Lak-Amir, a Lak poet and journalist from Kermanshah province, who was summoned to security bodies on that day.

Such summonses, often carried out without formally announcing charges, are considered part of a strategy of covert pressure aimed at containing influential cultural, media, and social voices. The objective of this approach is seen as limiting independent narratives of the protests and constraining the space for free reporting and expression.

Internet Disruptions and Communication Restrictions

As protests continued on the eleventh day, reports emerged of internet disruptions in several Iranian cities. These disruptions were mainly reported in the form of reduced speeds, unstable connections, and temporary interruptions in access to online services.

An examination of the pattern of these restrictions indicates that internet disruptions were implemented in a targeted and localized manner, often occurring in cities that witnessed protest gatherings or university activities. This approach has also been observed during previous waves of protests and is typically employed to limit coordination, information-sharing, and the dissemination of protest footage.

Nevertheless, the continued flow of news and the publication of reports from inside the country suggest that, despite causing disruptions, these restrictions have not been able to completely halt the circulation of information.

Reactions

Domestic Reactions (Governmental)

Following statements by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the protests in Iran, the Secretariat of the Supreme Defense Council of the Islamic Republic issued a statement describing the rhetoric and threats as β€œbeyond mere verbal positioning” and characterizing them as part of β€œhostile behavior.” The statement emphasized that any aggression or continuation of hostile actions would be met with a β€œproportionate, decisive, and determining response,” placing responsibility for the consequences on those designing and issuing the threats. In this context, officials also sought to elevate the issue from the level of β€œpolitical commentary” to that of a β€œsecurity cost,” highlighting regional consequences in an effort to send a deterrent message.

At the same time, following the positions taken by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu and the release of the statement by the Supreme Defense Council Secretariat, some figures close to the official power structure adopted even harsher rhetoric. Among them:

Ali Larijani, in a message, condemned what he described as U.S. interference in an β€œinternal matter” and issued warnings, in a threatening tone, about the consequences of adventurism.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf explicitly spoke of β€œthreatening American centers and forces” in the region and sought to convey the message that any action or escalation of intervention would be met with a β€œresponse.”

Such positions may indicate an attempt by the authorities to reframe the protests from a socio-economic crisis into a national security issueβ€”shifting the narrative focus from β€œstreet demands” to a β€œconfrontation with foreign intervention.”

Domestic Reactions (Civil, Labor, and Public Figures)

On the other hand, reactions were not limited to politicians and security officials. According to reports, associations in the field of visual arts, including organizations of painters, graphic designers, photographers, sculptors, and ceramic artists, issued a joint statement condemning the suppression of protests. Referring to economic and political pressures and widespread social despair, the statement emphasized that β€œany violence and repression against the people’s right to protest” is condemned.

Additionally, 555 teacher union activists issued a similar letter declaring their solidarity with the protesters and their demands.

The significance of these reactions on the eleventh day lies in the fact that they demonstrate how professional and cultural sectors are increasingly aligning themselves with the protest narrative.

After several days of silence, Amirhossein Ghiasi (blogger and media figure) issued a clear statement declaring that he, too, is a protester. He described his silence as the result of psychological pressure, family concerns, and an inability to express what he described as what was β€œin his heart.” The entry of public figures into explicit positions is considered, from a newsworthiness perspective, an important indicator for measuring the expansion of social sympathy with the protests.

Conclusion

The eleventh day of nationwide protests can be described as a day marked by the continuation of demonstrations alongside the consolidation of repression. Although the number of protesting cities has declined compared to some peak days, the wide provincial dispersion, the continued presence of universities, the high number of arrests, and the ongoing security summonses indicate that the protests have entered a phase that is attritional yet sustained.

The combination of economic crisis, livelihood pressure, widespread security crackdowns, and communication restrictions does not point to an imminent de-escalation of the protests. In this context, the unrest is continuing not in an explosive manner, but as a prolonged and multilayered conditionβ€”one whose consequences will be felt beyond the streets, across social, cultural, and political spheres.

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: β€œThe 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 β€œurgently,” 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 β€œto 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 AntΓ³nio Guterres expressed concern over recent developments in Iran, stating that he was β€œdeeply 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 β€œclear 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 β€œpsychological 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 β€œby explicit order of the Minister of Health” and would be pursued β€œwithin 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 β€œthe parliament and the government together have brought the country to this point,” and emphasizing that β€œwe 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 β€œstronghold”, 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 β€œrioting” 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 β€œrioters,” 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 crimeβ€”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 β€œIranam” concert in Tabriz and other upcoming performances, stating that holding concerts at this time does not align with the public mood.

  5. 5. The arrest of one individual in Tonekabon.

In Conclusion

The ongoing protests, which initially began in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, have entered their tenth day marked by geographical expansion, increased public participation, and an intensified presence of security forces. The combination of livelihood-related and political demands, the rising number of arrests, and authorities’ efforts to simultaneously contain the crisis through economic and security measures indicate the high level of sensitivity within the ruling establishment regarding the continuation of these protests.

HRANA continues to collect, verify, and complete information related to these protests and will publish supplementary reports should the gatherings persist or expand.

At Least Ten Prisoners Executed in Iran on December 29

HRANA – Yesterday, December 29, the death sentences of at least ten prisoners convicted on murder or drug-related charges were carried out in various prisons across Iran.

HRANA reported the executions of the following individuals on this day:

β€’ Marwan Emadabadi, on drug-related charges, in Kashan Prison
β€’ Sina Nadari, on a murder charge, in Saveh Prison
β€’ Amir Mehdi Navabi, on a murder charge, in Kerman Prison
β€’ Sobhan Safizadeh, on a murder charge, in Zanjan Prison
β€’ Soheil Bakhtiari, on a murder charge, in Dorud Prison
β€’ Shoja Asgari, on a murder charge, in Gorgan Prison
β€’ Heshmat Fallahi, on drug-related charges, in Neyshabur Prison

Additionally, three prisoners were executed on drug-related charges in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. HRANA has confirmed the identity of one of them as Yaser Khatibi.

As of the time of this report, the executions of these prisoners have not been officially announced by prison authorities or relevant institutions. In 2025, only 5% of executions reported by HRANA were acknowledged by official bodies or domestic media in Iran, highlighting the Iranian government’s lack of transparency and accountability.

During 2025 (until December 20), the number of executions reached an unprecedented 1,922 people, more than double the previous year. Most of these executions were carried out on charges related to drug offenses and murder.
