Nine months after the January 2026 protests, Iran continues executing protesters at a rate of nearly two people a week, with 194 more facing death sentences, according to an Iran International review. One protester recounted being subjected to a mock execution and torture in solitary confinement, while the family of executed protester Alireza Raisi says authorities concealed his burial site. Security forces have also been raiding the bedrooms of slain protesters, confiscating personal items from grieving families. A new Amnesty International report found that the 2022 'Woman, Life, Freedom' crackdown was coordinated from the top through a clear chain of command linking senior authorities to security forces, suggesting a consistent pattern of state-directed repression extending to the more recent crackdown.
