Shakarami's family alleged that she had gone missing for 10 days following a protest in Tehran on 20 September.

In her last message, Shakarami told a friend she was being pursued by security forces.

On 30 September, Shakarami's family found her body in a detention center morgue in Tehran.

The family was only briefly permitted to see Shakarami's face, but saw that her nose and skull had been broken.

Shakarami's body was transferred to Khorramabad, her father's hometown, on 2 October, which would have been her 17th birthday.

Under pressure from authorities, her family agreed not to hold a funeral.

Shakarami's aunt, who posted about her niece on social media, was also arrested on Sunday after security forces raided her house and threatened to kill her if anyone in the family participated in the protests, according to BBC Persian.

Shakarami's aunt said she had been told that her niece was in the Revolutionary Guard's custody and had briefly been imprisoned at Evin prison.

On 3 October, the family told BBC Persian that authorities had stolen Shakarami's body and buried it in the village of Veysian, approximately {{convert|40|km|mi}} from Khorramabad.

Over 1,000 workers at Iran's petrochemical plants at Bushehr and Damavand threatened the government to go on strike, and chanted "death to the dictator", which The Guardian described as "an ominous development for the regime". A Twitter video was published which depicted dozens of oil workers blocking the road to the Bushehr petrochemical plant, whilst chanting "Death to the Dictator". Iran's oil ministry has not yet commented.

As Iran is heavily dependent on its oil exports, the government will try to make sure that the oil production keeps on going, and to prevent such protests amongst oil workers from spreading throughout the rest of the oil industry. For the third time since the unrest started, members of Iran's medical community issued a statement demanding security forces to show greater restraint. They asserted that protesters have been taken out of ambulances and beaten up by security forces with batons. The governor of Kurdistan province, Esmail Zarei Kousha, alleged without providing evidence, that unknown groups "plotted to kill young people on the streets" (reported by semi-official Fars news agency). According to Iran's official press, twenty-four security officials have been killed since the start of the protests by what they claim were "rioters". According to human rights group Hengaw, security forces are located in large quantities in Sanandaj, Saqqez, and Divandarreh. Hengaw also said that at least five Kurdish residents were killed and over 150 injured since Saturday 8 October.

Clashes between protesters and government security forces continued, with the latter waging "a deadly crackdown" according to Reuters.{{cite news |title=Iran protests over woman's death persist despite crackdown |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-protests-over-womans-death-persist-despite-crackdown-oil-workers-strike-2022-10-11/ |access-date=11 October 2022 |work=Reuters |date=11 October 2022 |archive-date=11 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011135755/https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-protests-over-womans-death-persist-despite-crackdown-oil-workers-strike-2022-10-11/ |url-status=live}} Social media showed tanks being moved to Iran's Kurdish areas, although Reuters said it could not verify the video footage.

Videos posted by Tasvir1500 showed a few dozen oil workers chanting "Death to the dictator". Iran's regional government official tried to deny the ongoing unrest at the energy sector, and said that the workers at the Assaluye plant "were angered by a dispute over wages and were not protesting over Amini's death".

Given that the incident happened in broad daylight, human rights groups questioned what security forces might have been doing behind closed doors. BBC Persian stated that "mistreatment, including sexual and psychological abuse, has been reported by many inmates, especially political prisoners, for years", and that many Iranian social media users reacted by saying that the incident had made them even more determined to protest on the streets.

Patrick Wintour, in The Guardian, suggested the Iranian political elite was divided in how to frame the ongoing unrest: either as a covert foreign intelligence plot, or as "a dangerous warning that the values of the Islamic Revolution have lost sway over a new generation infected by a western controlled internet".{{cite news |last1=Wintour |first1=Patrick |title=Iran's youthful protests stoke uncertainty among political elite |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/14/irans-youthful-protests-stoke-uncertainty-among-political-elite |access-date=14 October 2022 |agency=The Guardian |date=14 October 2022}}

Several intra-elite public statements were made. Mohsen Hashemi Rafsanjani suggested modifying the Constitution of Iran in response to the protests. Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi called for clerics to support the protestors. Clerics Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad and Asadollah Bayat-Zanjani criticised security services for Amini's death.

The grey hat security hacker group Black Reward published 50 gigabytes of files related to the nuclear program of Iran, including a video filmed inside Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, and planning, financial and other documents of the program.

University protests continued to spread in Iranian universities. At Sharif University of Technology, female students tried to enter the dining hall together with male students, contrary to segregation rules. Basij members tried to use tables to prevent the mixed entry to the dining hall. The male and female students overcame the blockade, entered the hall, and chanted in celebration.

Students at K. N. Toosi University of Technology refused to pay any attention to a speech by Ali Bahadori Jahromi, a spokesperson for president Raisi, chanting and shouting at him instead of listening to his message.

Protests expanded on 26 October, with protests held in 33 cities, including Tehran, Isfahan and Mashhad, in 23 provinces. As many as ten thousand mourners headed to Amini's gravesite in Saqqez on foot, by car and automobile to commemorate 40 days since her death, which traditionally marks the end of mourning in Iran. Protesters headed towards Saqqez despite warnings by the security forces not to hold the ceremony. According to Hengaw and eyewitnesses, security forces shot with teargas and opened fire on people. According to Hengaw, more than fifty civilians were injured by direct fire in cities in the region. The Iranian government said that the security forces were forced to respond to "riots". It also tried to block internet use in the region. Images shared by Hengaw showed that the government had dispatched heavy presence of security forces overnight in order to block entrance to Saqqez and to close roads leading to Amini's gravesite.{{cite news |last1=Wintour |first1=Patrick |title=Iran's security forces reportedly open fire as thousands mourn Mahsa Amini |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/26/iran-protests-mahsa-amini-grave-crackdown-kurdish-death |access-date=26 October 2022 |agency=The Guardian |date=26 October 2022}}

That day, Islamic State – Khorasan Province declared support for the protesters. According to the Institute for the Study of War, these statements were "likely [intended] to further stoke sectarian divides" in the country. According to the same institute, it is likely that the government will exploit the Shah Cheragh massacre to deflate the protests, and use it to redirect "public attention away from the protests and channel anger toward foreign adversaries such as the Islamic State and Saudi Arabia".

In Germany, TV hosts Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf gave their Instagram accounts, which had about 2 million followers between them, to Azam Jangravi and Sarah Ramani, two Iranian women's rights activists, in order to raise awareness of the protests.

Human Rights Watch reported that Iranian authorities have stepped up assault against the widespread unrest and dissent "by filing dubious national security charges against detained activists and staging grossly unfair trials." They add: "Iran's vicious security apparatus is using every tactic in its book, including lethal force against protesters, arresting and slandering human rights defenders and journalists, and sham trials to crush widespread dissent. Yet every new atrocity only reinforces why Iranians are demanding fundamental changes to a corrupt autocracy."

The protests in Marivan were ignited by Nasrin Ghadri's death, a student in Tehran of Kurdish origins from Marivan. Hengaw reported that she died on Saturday 5 November as a result of police brutality. Iran's government has not released a statement over Ghadri's death. Hengaw added that Ghadri was buried without the permission of a funeral ceremony, reportedly fearing it could become yet another powder keg leading to further protests. The government dispatched further security personnel to the region of Marivan according to Hengaw.

Iranian lawmakers considered to be part of the hardline spectrum within Iran's government urged Iran's judiciary to "deal decisively" with those creating and assisting the "riots". According to state media, 227 out of 290 lawmakers supported the statement.

Iran's hardliners have put the blame on Ali Shamkhani (the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council) for being unable to suppress the protests. According to Hamid Rasaei, a cleric and former lawmaker, Iran's security organs all point to Shamkhani as the main culprit for the leadership's failure in quelling the protests.

Shohreh Bayat was removed from the International Chess Federation (FIDE) commission of chess arbiters, in relation to her wearing of a "Women, Life, Freedom" T-shirt at a chess competition held in Iceland in October 2022. Her removal was attributed by a senior FIDE official to the commission's president, Arkady Dvorkovich, being "furious", while FIDE's official statement was that the reason was related to "activism" and that Bayat had disobeyed "direct instructions given to her to stop wearing slogans or mottos".
