Qasem Katan

How they died

Shot with over 100 pellets, then killed with two war bullets from a Kalashnikov rifle. One bullet hit him from behind and the second was fired directly into his heart from the front as a coup de grace shot. His body was held by security agencies for several days before being returned to family under security conditions. Burial was restricted to between 2 AM and 7 AM, and he was not allowed to be buried in Shushtar city cemetery.
