Milad Afrukhteh

How they died

Gilak citizen from Sangar, athlete, footballer and goalkeeper trainer. Shot on Motahari Street in Rasht during nationwide protests by forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. After being shot, people and friends moved his body about 200-300 meters to Hajiabad Street area and placed him inside his personal car. To avoid sensitivity from security forces, those present contacted Milad's brother saying he was injured and had a headache, asking him to come take Milad home. The brother came with his wife and young child, unaware of the severity of the injury, but upon opening the car door found it soaked in blood.
