The Iranian government arrested approximately 170 of its citizens in Tehran on June 13 and 14. By August 2009, it was confirmed by the Iranian government that there were over 4,000 detained as a result of the residual protests. Reports have revealed that executions of protestors were conducted in secret and without notification of their families or legal representation. Though the Iranian government has openly claimed responsibility for 27 deaths, media outlets have reported over 150, resulting from the protests. Reports also have indicated that military personnel broke into homes, intentionally harmed their citizenry, and shot into large crowds of people, unprovoked.
