Iran's dead and detained: the list keeps growing

Today we are publishing an update to our list of Iranians killed or arrested since last month's presidential election. Many of you have submitted additional information and photographs for the people we had already identified, and others have sent in new names. This update adds photos where we have them and names some new people. We will add further names shortly.

Among the dead is Ashkan Sohrabi, an 18-year-old killed in the Tehran protests, whose sister gave an interview to Rooz Online. The numbers arrested include some not directly involved in the Mousavi or Karroubi campaigns, such as Mohammad Mostafaei, an anti-death penalty campaigner freed on bail after seven days in Tehran's Evin prison, and Mitra Farahani, a Paris-based film director and painter arrested on arrival in Tehran.

In one of the most audacious arrests, which Reporters Without Borders called "totally unprecedented", all 25 editorial staff of the Mousavi-owned Kalemeh Sabz newspaper were detained by plainclothes agents. Twenty-two have now been released.

There are still hundreds of people in jail. Again, if you can add to the details we have or can send photos of detainees, please use this form.
