Siavash Farrokhi

How they died

Shot with a bullet to his back by Islamic Republic forces. He was 37 years old, had recently gotten his life together, renovated his house, and was planning to marry his partner. He was supportive of those around him and had helped many people in his neighborhood. On Thursday 18 Dey, he called his mother saying he wanted to go out that night. Despite his mother's insistence that he not go, he said 'Mother, if I don't go, who will? Look at our living situation, you take care of yourselves, I'll watch out for myself.' He went out and never returned.
