That Must Not Be Forgotten: Women Who Lost Their Lives in Iran’s January 2026 Uprising
The Iranian people’s nationwide uprising began on December 28, 2025, when Bazari merchants—long regarded as the backbone of Iran’s small-business economy—closed their shops in protest.
Their action ignited a wave of unrest that rapidly spread across generations and regions, transforming economic grievance into nationwide resistance.
As protests intensified, chants of “Death to the dictator” and “Freedom” echoed in more than 100 locations in Tehran and across 400 cities throughout the country. What began as economic discontent quickly evolved into open political defiance.
The clerical regime responded with extreme brutality. By Ali Khamenei’s own admission, “several thousand people” were killed. According to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), more than 50,000 individuals were arrested.
Despite an extensive internet shutdown aimed at concealing the scale of repression, the PMOI has identified and published the names of 631 victims of the regime’s bloody crackdown. Among them are at least 78 women.
In this context, the NCRI Women’s Committee publishes the following list of women and girls who lost their lives in the struggle for freedom and equality in Iran.
This list will be updated as further names become known.
