Of these, 11 were arrested for the execution of their imprisonment sentences while 90 were taken into custody by security forces. At the same time, more than 30 civil society, religious, cultural, literary, and art activists were summoned by security agencies and interrogated for several hours.

In the same period, at least six kolbars lost their lives due to avalanches, frostbite, and cardiac arrests while four others were injured due to gunshots by border guards. A Kurdish tradesman named Yousef Fattahzadeh from Baneh was also shot dead by Iranian police on 18 January.
