“Since 1979, Iran has killed men, women and children simply because they took their grievances to the public. Some are well-known, but most are not,” said Roya Boroumand, ABC’s Executive Director. “It is our responsibility to ensure that they are known and remembered.”
On the third anniversary of the Woman, Life, Freedom protest where at least 382 protesters were killed, ABC has launched an interactive map of protest victims, documenting individuals killed for demanding their rights for over four decades. The map exposes the scale and persistence of the state’s deadly response to dissent.
Three years after the nationwide Woman, Life, Freedoms protests, the Iranian authorities’ violent suppression of dissent continues. To mark this anniversary, the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran (ABC) has launched an interactive map of protest victims, documenting decades of extrajudicial and arbitrary killings and executions of those who took to the streets to demand their rights. ABC has documented at least 1,566 such executions and is launching the map with 720 cases added so far. View the interactive Map:
