The People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced that the death toll in the national uprising in Iran against the Ayatollah regime, which began on 28 December 2025, has exceeded 3,000 as of 11 January 2026.

The figures are based on investigations conducted from local sources, hospitals, forensic medicine centres and the families of those killed or missing in 195 cities, according to a statement issued by the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

The Iranian regime was forced to show some of the bodies on state television, falsely attributing the deaths to its opponents and protesters.

Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said that this is a serious crime against humanity, and its architects and perpetrators will be brought to justice.

Maryam Rajavi expressed her condolences to the people of Iran, particularly the families, relatives, friends and fellow activists of these proud martyrs. She stated that this grave crime against humanity will not go unanswered by the Iranian people and the rebellious youth.

The President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran emphasised that those who ordered and carried out this brutal massacre will undoubtedly be brought to justice in the democratic Iran of tomorrow.
