Killed and Detained Since 12 June
Last Updated: 2 September 2009
Here is the list of those killed and detained in Iran, updated as information becomes available. The list is by no means comprehensive and does not include the great majority of people arrested at protests on the streets.
The Campaign has the names of 19 people who have been killed by government forces.
The list currently includes the names of 242 detainees, including 121 political personalities, 25 journalists, 9 professors, and 87 students. These are prominent personalities who have been detained at their homes or places of work by unidentified agents and taken to undisclosed locations. They are mostly held in incommunicado detention and have no access to legal council.
On 10 July, Tehran’s prosecutor general, said that more than 2,500 people have been detained in Tehran alone, with 500 still in detention. The Campaign believes, based on reports received from within Iran, that many more could be under arrest throughout the country. The following is a list of prominent political personalities, journalists, and students that the Campaign has received. This list does not include citizens detained during street protests.

please help them.thanks.they do any thing and any work.
Hi, I have published a comprehensive list of those who have died in recent days. You are welcome to use the sources. However, I cannot verify the name of Mehdi Karimi (مهدی کریمی). Are you absolutely sure about this information? It is allegedly coming from ghalam news but a search there doesn’t produce a satisfactory result.
Keep up the good work.
Nick Taymour
Dear Sir,
I would like to add one more name to the list of the people who have been arrested in recent days and is not included in your list.
Dr. Ali Reza Aaghaei Raad, a journalist, poet, and university professor was arrested at his home on June 20, at 2AM (Iran time zone) by plain cloth security personnel without warrant. His family does not know where is he been taken.
He is pro reform and pro Mr. Mosavi.
down with the iranian thugocracy. down with hamas . donw with hizbollah. freedom for the iranian people
jaleh
thank you so much for this list.
Please help our country, as you are witnessing, this regime knows no mercy, no moral, no respect for human and human rights, nothing.
Not doing something and not helping innocent people means helping this monstrous dangerous regime! they are dangerous for the whole world, not only for Iranians. To avoid a war, they should be kicked out of Iran and taken to court just like it was done to the SS-Regime supporters after the 2nd World War. They are worse than Hitler and his regime.
ahmad
if there are names where we can go and anounce that?
please give the adress and tel to us!
shavish
Thanks for publishing their names and keeping the IRI accountable for their where abouts…
great site please use it as a central location for all names. I have added a link to your site to this page.

I once was snatched off the street by 3 plain cloth induviduals, kept in detention for a week and released without any proof of wrongdoing. That,s how they’ve operated since coming to power. As they have no respect for human rights, they have never belived in democracy, let alone the rule of law. In their minds their Grand Khaliphate is under threat by these protesters. To them they are nothing and deserve the most brutal treatment. Our bravest are putting their lives at risk everytime they step onto the streets of Tehran and other cities. They deserve our unconditional support. Lets give it to them. Thank you for releasing these names as their families must be in great distress for their fates. Long live humanity and its struggle for a better world.

Ahmadinejad is the winner. Stop provocing opposition actions!

Dear Sir,
I would like to add one more name to the list of the people who have been arrested in recent days and is not included in your list.He is Rahim Hemati , a journalist who was arrested on 22 jun -6 pm on HAFTE TIR square .
Maite Lorés
I am a personal friend of Maziar Bahari, so I’m terribly worried about him. However, because his detention has affected me personally, I can also feel for more strongly for every person who has been wrongfully arrested, even murdered, in Iran due to the present situation.
It is important that we all do our bit, no matter how small and seemingly impotent, to guarantee his safe release. Please ask people to write to the Canadian government and to their own government, so they feel pressurised to act, and to insure that Maziar’s, and every other person who shares his fate, is nt forgotten and promptly released.

Thanks for exposing this 21st centeury Gen.Agostino Pinochet.This guy Ahmednajjad,I thought he is learned enough not engage in the barbaric acts of this magnitude.First he steals election,secondly he massacres his own people for telling him no stop stealing our birthright.No wonder Saddam Hussein used to detect this guy to his death.
This Ahmednajjad should be made to pay either through Ocampo in Hagues or Saddam style.He style of clinching to leadership is typical to Saddam,use of Revolutionary Guard and militia.The only difference he tries to hide behide the spiritual leaders.He is the worst murder.
For the family of the deacesed and other detained ,we pray to Allah to give you strength at this trying times.Allahu Akbar,sure Iranians of good will,will overcome this.
Alex Paul
The Ayatollah is an A*aholah. Thoughts and prayers go out to the brave Iranians who struggle for freedom…
wish we can help but America is now led by a cowardly, rhetoric spouting. fence-sitting, pro-dictator, pro-socialist, pro-death culture, anti-christian , yellow-spined opportunist.
Peter
You are full of BS. I dont see why forner member of Khomeini regime who loose election should be better present iranian president.
If you comper Ahmadineedjad with Bush Jr he did better during the election! Remember proces of counting votes in Florida?
Dont tell me that all this private iranian TV stations in US(and Israel0 sending messages to Iran do that whithout support of US gvmnt. Or they using iranian frozen assets?
Few people were killed.: 10 or 25. It is a pitty when people should die for nothing.. But in Sector Gaza were killed 1500 people – most of them women and children. Why is silent about that so call Amnesty Int and Human Rights organizations?
baris
hi everyone i dont understand what all these people want.These people sent Shah about 30 years ago but now they want that kind of regime back.What for. For nothing.As Turkish ministers want to be like Iran but its gonne be no where because we dont want to be like iran.
Jim keller
What the President of Iran calls meddling and interference by the United States, We as Americans call it FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
whereismyvote
Iranians are dying in the streets. Over the last 13 days over 200 Iranians have died in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, Rasht and other such cities.
Faced with such human tragedy where the people are only asking for their vote, President Obama has taken the courageous act of withdrawing his hot dog party invitation. Either Mr. Obama should come clear that he will negotiate with butcher murderers, or he should say that there is just certain things that he does not stand for, such as killing of innocent demonstrators by machete.
I once admired and was inspired by this man. Now I see that he is a spineless. Would he have stood so silently if it was Jews that were being killed? It seems that he has no understanding of how to build a bridge to the Muslim world. The bridge has to be across the divide of tyranny and to the people. So long Obama, my heart is about to loose you.
Greg
I believe there are some Sunni counter-insurgents out there that would love to have their crack at Ahmadinejad and Khomeinei. Heck…give ‘em a hundred thousand each (maybe 25 of ‘em), and see how long these thugs would really last. Violence always begats violence.
Plz let’s get the word back into Iran, that the outside world is just as appaled by all this and is doing what we can legally to help .
Plz everyone go to the following link & ask FIFA to Support Banned Iranian Players w/ Green – The Petition Site
Source: http://www.thepetitionsite.com
FREEDOM OF CHOICE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM ANYONE (29 signatures on petition)
Plz sign the above petition and plz pass it to all your freinds, the goal is 500,000 people … if they do this, it will speak volumes !!

CHRISTIANE JON,

THESE INJURED FREEDOM FIGHTERS ARRE SIMPLY TAKEN AWAY FROM HOSPITAL AND GOD KNOWS IF THEY WILL EVER BE SEEN AGAIN. THERE WERE MANY INJURED WITH MULTIPLE GUN SHOTS POINTING TO THESE ANIMALS USE OF MACHINE GUNS IN MOWING OUR YOUG PROTESTERS DOWN.

Such a shame on this leadership, which is shown by Khamenei in these now a days in Iran. Regarding to the main regulations and principals of a religious leader, HE (the leader) at the first rules : MUST BE A RIGHTEOUS PERSON, NOT A MURDERER.
Soudabeh Sadigh
All what happened during the past 2 weeks in Iran are very frustrating, however, whatever happens, All these events clarified the illegitimacy of Iranian government to the whole world as a totalitarian regime,
Iran is pregnant with new events, and Iranian people have to pay a high price for theri civil rights and democracy.
let’s hope for peace and freedom in Iran

These are fooled by world Zionist from British who destroyed many nations and stolen the wealth of them along USA, Israel. Sorry for these who are stupid enough to fall on forging tricks. Like Mossadegh time they were trying to remove him and place the slave king son in his place.
Human rights are not Internal Affair Iranian.
mahsa
dont help us…just kill all of us with nuclear bomb!
we don’t need to live withe shame…

In 1979, I and many many people in the U.S.A. did not support the shaw, there where demonstrations here condmning his regime. I felt betrayed when our embassy was attacked and the workers taken hostage. I hear that mahmoud Ageemypigshit was one of the rioters involved. I wish the people of iran peace and hope that the iranien people come up with a form of government that is just and that thay are comfortable with.I also believe that Iran has the legal right by treaty to refine uranium for peacefull purposes.Please keep the radio active materials away from the self-righteous fanatics! a lot of suffering can be caused by a dirty bomb! And THANK GOD FOR OBAMA!! I think he is doing the right thing by not acknowledgeing khamenei and his boy toy AHHmybutthurtsineedsomeanilease. Serously -above all -this is an iranien issue and ultimately only the ireanien people can resolve it -I wish you peace.”Independence,Freedom,Islamic Republic”
This thread is heartbreaking to read. So many cries for help. Yet, the mainstream media has moved on to its usual nonsense, with some exceptions. You were all very brave to stand up for your rights against an oppresive, deceitful regime. I, and many Americans like me, applaud your efforts and stand with you.
Remember Ghandi’s protests which brought the British to their knees. His voice could not be silenced. Neither will yours. Never lose hope. It takes time and many people’s efforts to undo the evil some men do. I am certain Iran is going to see freedom, and I’m convinced you’ve lit the fire which will consume your foes in the government.
May peace and freedom be yours soon, and forever.
martina de vries
this list should go to all newsagency´s and UN HQ,pretty srius,does anybody know if twitter iranix is on this list…don´tknow real name,I have heard he is arrested and in solitary confinement,I am worried though,rect please thanks anyway for al work until now what have been done…
Pelos direitos humanos no Irão, compreensão e respeito pela vida humana são
valores morais de qualquer religião no mundo dos nossos dias.
Ahmed Alsaad
Let the whole world say it without hesitation.This bloody regime should not deceive the international community by pretending that external forces are behind the recent developments in Iran. This regime is moving rapidly towards its collapse and as much it feels the danger of collapse, the more it becomes in humanist and aggressive against the people of Iran. Let us all call for the stop of the illegal consequences of the elections which brought Ahmedinajad again to power.
Let the free will of the people of Iran be dominant.

Women's Rights
The Iranian women’s rights movement is the most vibrant social movement in Iran today. Having built an extensive grassroots base, Iranian women are campaigning to fight legal gender discrimination. The government routinely persecutes and prosecutes women’s rights activists.

Thanks for the list of names of freedom loving Iranians who have been illegally imprisoned and probably being tortured at the hands of evil men. We must pray for them and their families as well as get the word out for others to become aware of the crackdown by the islamic republic of Iran on those who are just trying to report the news or simply have their vote counted.
