The rights group estimated the number of people arrested during the protests to be nearly 6,000.
Protests have been held in 112 cities across Iran, according to the report.
Protests erupted across Iran mid-September after Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman, died in police custody.
The protests have quickly escalated and turned political with demonstrations taking place country-wide. Protesters have been chanting against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and calling for the downfall of the regime.
