This repository provides a structured dataset documenting victims of the 2026 massacre in Iran. The data has been compiled from publicly available and continuously updated sources that aim to verify and preserve information about individuals killed during the events. The primary sources include the Remember Their Names Telegram channel and Iran International’s Javidnaman portal.
The current version of the dataset consists of 500 randomly sampled victim records, available in data/massacre_data.csv. The data includes attributes such as age, gender, date of death, and geographical location, enabling both quantitative and exploratory analysis.
To facilitate analysis and public engagement, this repository includes a Plotly-based web application that offers interactive visualizations of the dataset. These include:
- geographical distribution of victims by province (map-based visualization)
- age distribution across defined demographic groups
- temporal distribution of recorded deaths
- gender distribution
The application serves as a proof-of-concept for how structured data and visualization tools can support the documentation, analysis, and communication of large-scale human rights violations.
An online version of the application is available here.
