The Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations has published the names and images of 150 children under the age of 18 who lost their lives on Thursday, January 8, and Friday, January 9, 2026, in various cities across the country at the hands of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
However, these numbers do not tell the full story of this tragedy. What we see today is only a small part of a far greater human catastrophe.
Beginning on Thursday, January 8, 2026, the Iranian government deliberately forced the country into silence. Internet and telephone communications across Iran were cut off for three full weeks, isolating the country from the outside world. No voices were heard, no cries reached beyond the borders, and no images of the killings were able to cross them.
In this imposed darkness, tens of thousands of people were killed, and many families disappeared without a trace. These 150 children are not all the victims; they are only those whose names and faces survived the communication blackout. They represent only the part of the truth that could not be completely erased.
The Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations has asked all parents whose children have been killed by the security forces of the Islamic Republic over the past month to help document this crime by publishing the names and images of their children, so the world can understand the depth of this catastrophe and so these children are not killed a second time through silence and forgetting.
The images you see belong to 150 children who should have been present in classrooms today — children who should have laughed, learned, and built dreams. But their desks are empty. Their names are now read one after another like a list of loss. In just two days in January 2026, the Islamic Republic of Iran brutally ended their lives.
The teachers of these children, despite deep grief and open wounds, have refused silence and have launched a campaign called “Empty Desks,” an effort to ensure that every stolen name and every stolen future is recorded in the memory of history.
These children carried no weapons. They carried dreams — dreams of freedom, equality, human dignity, democracy, and a life without fear. They came to the streets with hope for a better world, and their answer was bullets.
They were killed by the forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Watch the video and remember their faces.
And remember: behind every name lies a life the world failed to protect.
