Iran’s Revolutionary Guard intelligence organization and the Intelligence Ministry have pressured families of those detained during nationwide protests to attend the state-organized February 11 rally marking the anniversary of the 1979 Revolution, sources close to the families told Iran International.

Security officials informed several families their presence at the February 11 march must be “verifiable,” including by taking photos and videos of themselves at the rally and sending them to security bodies, the sources said.

The sources said officials coupled the demand with threats and psychological pressure, telling families that only if they comply might their detained relatives be released, spared execution, or see their sentences reduced.

The reported pressure comes amid what Iran International has previously documented as an intensifying crackdown following nationwide protests, including mass arrests and a rise in reported deaths in custody. Observers have said the trend may signal a broader “purge” phase aimed at eliminating evidence of a bloody suppression.

'Jailed entrepreneur's father will attend rallies'

Separately, websites affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps published a text attributed to Mohammad Ali Saeedi-Nia, a well-known entrepreneur and businessman whose son is detained for supporting the protests, alleging that he would participate in the February 11 rally.

In the statement circulated by IRGC-linked outlets, Saeedi-Nia was quoted as saying he would attend the demonstration marking the anniversary of the 1979 revolution.

However, informed sources told Iran International that the statement is also part of security pressure and an effort to extract forced declarations of loyalty from families of detainees.

Sadegh Saeedi-Nia, the son of Mohammad Ali Saeedi-Nia, was arrested following the recent protests and killings and remains in prison, according to the sources.
