Sajjad Bayat

How they died

Shot directly by security forces during protests in Gohardasht main street. Initially shot in the heart area and severely wounded. Eyewitnesses report that after being injured in front of Gohardasht police station, security forces prevented his companions from providing aid and rescue by shooting again. He was then transferred inside the police station and killed by gunfire. His body was only handed over to the family after they were forced to pay one billion tomans as 'bullet fee'. The family was under security pressure to remain silent and refrain from informing others.
