Iran's Post-Protest Crackdown Expands with Mass Detentions Across Society

Weeks after Iran's protests were violently crushed, authorities have expanded a nationwide dragnet, with activists citing more than 50,000 arrests though verification is difficult. Detainees are held incommunicado, moved between prisons such as Evin and Qarchak, and targeted across society—from students and doctors to minors as young as 13—while banks, SIM cards, and relatives' property are often confiscated. The death toll remains disputed as international groups call for accountability while crackdown intensifies.

Iran crackdown widens as arrests sweep the country

Iran’s security services have launched a broad nationwide crackdown on protests, raiding homes and workplaces and detaining thousands—often incommunicado for days or weeks. The detainees include at least 107 university students, 82 minors as young as 13, 19 lawyers and 106 doctors, with families reporting disappearances as authorities track people via cameras and imprison them in facilities such as Evin and Qarchak. Activist groups say arrests exceed 50,000 (AP cannot verify); deaths are tallied by rights groups at over 7,000, while the government cites about 3,117. Authorities are restricting legal counsel and contact with families, freezing bank accounts and SIM cards, amid an economy battered by sanctions and mismanagement, even as some civic groups issue defiant statements.

Judge condemns Trump aides over constitutional violations in campus detentions

U.S. District Judge William Young blasted top Trump officials and the president for alleged constitutional violations in detaining pro-Palestinian noncitizen students, saying the First Amendment was not being honored. The case, brought by faculty groups, centers on five detainees from Columbia, Tufts, and Georgetown who were arrested or targeted for their political views; the judge declined sweeping relief but signaled a narrower order to shield their immigration status. The proceedings showed Canary Mission profiles guiding DHS/ICE actions that led to visa and deportation efforts, with several detainees released and the possibility of rearrest for Khalil after an appellate ruling on jurisdiction.

"Unraveling the Mystery: The Aftermath of Navalny's Death and the Fight for Justice"

Following the death of Russian opposition figure Aleksei Navalny in a prison colony, at least 400 people have been detained across Russia as they mourn and lay flowers in small acts of protest. Mourners see Navalny's death as a result of state action and are defying the crackdown on dissent, despite the ongoing political repression in the country.
