Pezhman Shahpiri

How they died

Shot with war bullets by security forces at Helal Ahmar intersection in Izeh city. The bullet hit his shoulder and he died hours later due to heavy bleeding. Security forces transferred his body to Ahvaz and forced his family to remain silent. Against the family's wishes, they imposed a martyrdom narrative and forced the family to bury him in the martyrs' section under strict security measures without holding tribal ceremonies. The family did not use the word 'martyr' in their obituary notice.
