This list is not complete. The real number of victims is far higher: many names have never been published, families are under pressure, and our sources cannot reach everywhere. A name is only added together with its source.

Everyone killed from 2009 to today: published figures and our names

The “minimum” and “maximum” columns are the lowest and highest figures that human-rights organisations or media have published for each event (the official figure is shown separately). Figures from different sources for the same event are never added up; only separate events are summed. “Our names” are the people whose names we have recorded with a source.

Our names compared with official figures and estimates

For each event: the number of names we have recorded with a source, the government’s official figure, and published estimates. The gap between the bars shows how many names are still missing. Do not add the figures up; the sources overlap.

Executions: documented numbers compared with the names we have

Calendar year. Iran Human Rights counts only executions confirmed by two sources (a minimum). Our names come from several sources; in some years they exceed this number, in most years they fall short of it.
