- The names of some martyrs, whose death has just recently been made official, like Saeede Pouraghayee, are not included in this list.

- Reports say that some of the detainees who were under horrifying torture in Kahrizak and other secret prisons, also died, and their bodies have not yet been returned to their families, or some fake death licenses have been made for them, stating that they died in car accidents or under medical surgeries.
