What you can browse here is still only a small fragment of the people killed, executed, or disappeared under the Islamic Republic since 1979. No single database can hold the full scale, and independent counts almost always lag behind what survivors and local reporting describe.

In early January 2026, as nationwide protests were crushed, some accounts cited on the order of 45,000 people shot in the violence of January 8 and 9 alone, while consolidated human rights documentation has confirmed far fewer deaths to date, and the true toll is likely higher but difficult to verify. During the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising after September 2022, monitors likewise pointed to more than 1,500 people killed in the first days of the crackdown, with fuller lists still unfinished.

Our aim is to grow this archive so it can acknowledge victims across the entire timeline: revolutionary courts and executions from 1979 to about 1981, the women's protest against mandatory Hijab and mandated Islamic dress codes in 1979, the 1988 prison massacres (A.K.A. the summer of 1367, when thousands of political prisoners, including many communists, were executed), the chain murders of Iran in 1988-98, the Mashhad uprising in June 1992, the Shadmehr (Islamshahr) uprising in June 1995, the nationwide student protests of July 1999, the Green Movement in 2009, the nationwide economic protests in 2017-2018, the nationwide crackdown of October 2019, and other waves of state violence, so these crimes are harder to forget.
