In connection with the mass protests that began earlier this year and spread to 31 provinces in Iran, the authorities have detained at least 53,777 people. The government informed the UN that many were released after investigations. However, information received by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights points to arbitrary arrests, disappearances, and detainees being held without contact with the outside world. This is stated in the UN Secretary-General’s report on the human rights situation in Iran.
