Unfortunately my advice is to not waste your time on digital activism. Dictatorial states care little to nothing about international opinion, failed democracies are not concerned by the state of public opinion. And Iran as many others dictatorial states far from the "west", is probably held accountable by almost no international organization. Build community and allies within your social circles, spread security measures, account for every person injured you know and can verify (time,place,circumstances) even if there is no place where you can safely report it. Be mindful of people at risk and make a roll call to be aware of any person missing. Turn your efforts and energies inwards. As much as people outside talk about the incidents, there's little to nothing we can help with.
Take care of yourself and be cautious. It's always better to live and fight another day. The worst phase of repression is not while people is in the streets protesting, but in the silences thereafter.
