IHRDC has learned through a source that Mohammad Ali (Sepehr) Foroughi Dehnavi, a 43-year-old pharmacist and resident of Tehran, was killed during the protests in the city.

Due to severe communication restrictions and the ongoing internet shutdown, independent verification remains impossible at this time.

According to a video published by Vahid Online, footage from Saturday, January 9, 2026, shows a line of trucks carrying bodies outside the entrance of the Kahrizak Forensic Medicine Center. As described with the images, “the bodies were taken into warehouses, and families whose relatives were missing were told to search among the bodies to identify them.”

At the same time, reports have emerged of wounded individuals and bodies being transported by trucks, denial of medical treatment, and demands for money from families in exchange for the return of bodies. Reports also point to a pattern of gunfire aimed at vital areas of the body, including the head and neck, as well as widespread cases of severe eye injuries caused by pellet shots—raising concerns about shoot-to-kill practices by the authorities.

The Iran Human Rights Documentation Center has also received eyewitness accounts. One witness from Arak said: “Bodies were piled on top of bodies… the morgues have no space.” However, due to severe internet shutdowns and communication restrictions, access to independent information remains limited, and the final figures for casualties and injuries cannot be independently verified.
