Day 13 of Iran Uprising: 54 Martyrs Confirmed as Regime Confronts Widespread Clashes and Blackouts

As Iran’s nationwide uprising against the regime intensifies into its 12th and 13th days, reports from the frontlines paint a picture of escalating violence, heroic resistance, and brutal repression. Independent sources, including updates from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), confirm a mounting human toll and widespread insurgent gains, even as Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei orders a complete communications blackout to conceal the scale of the crackdown. Drawing on verified accounts from affected provinces, this report details the latest developments.

12th and 13th Days of the Uprising

“Fallen for Freedom”

Human Toll

  • The identities of 10 additional martyrs of the uprising have been confirmed, bringing the total number of identified martyrs to 54.
  • The Deputy Governor of Khorasan Razavi publicly acknowledged on state television the deaths of five protesters in Chenaran.
  • On January 18 and 19, many citizens—particularly young insurgents—were killed. Their names will be released following verification.

Total Internet Shutdown – Killings and Repression

  • Following the expansion of the uprising on January 6 and 7, internet access was completely cut nationwide as of January 8, by direct order of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
  • The Iranian Resistance issued an urgent international appeal calling for free internet access for the Iranian people, urging the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to take action to lift the country’s “cyber siege.”
  • On Friday, January 9, Khamenei labeled the insurgents “vandals” and warned that the regime “would not back down.”
  • The Supreme National Security Council announced that security and judicial forces would show no leniency toward protesters.
  • Ali Salehi, Governor of Tehran Province, declared that anyone participating in demonstrations would be dealt with firmly, accusing them of acting “in the service of the enemy.”
  • On January 8, in Fardis (Karaj), Siah-Nowsh district, repressive forces opened fire on civilians; at least 10 young people were killed or injured. The regime is attempting to conceal the scale of the killings through a total communications blackout.
  • According to reliable sources, thousands have been arrested. Detention centers run by the IRGC, police, the Ministry of Intelligence, and so-called “safe houses” are overcrowded. Most detainees are held without legal status under critical conditions.
  • Police radio communications, revealed by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, show that during the popular assault on the regime’s broadcasting headquarters in Isfahan, commanders were shouting “We have no forces left,” while still receiving orders to repress.
  • On January 7 in Borujerd, a panicked police commander ordered forces to fire directly at the crowd from rooftops, saying: “Don’t hesitate—shoot.”
  • In Kermanshah, elements of the Iraqi Hashd al-Shaabi militias are reported to be participating in repression alongside the IRGC.
