The Islamic Republic of Iran has been responsible for the deaths of at least 225 Bahá'ís since its establishment, as documented by the House of Anti-Bahá'í Documents Iran Open Data research shows.

Statistical research on documented reports available on the website "House of Anti-Baha'i Documents" shows that after the Iranian Revolution, 158 Baha'is have been executed by firing squads or hanged on court orders. Twelve individuals have lost their lives in prison due after being tortured. Another 16 individuals disappeared after being threatened by members of the religious establishment or government agents, and 39 individuals were killed with the support of religious and political government entities.
