This page keeps the memory of 84 people who were killed in Shahriar, in the province of Tehran. Only one fate is recorded in the list for Shahriar: all of these 84 people lost their lives in protests. The first date on this page is 25 Aban 1398 and the last 20 Dey 1404. In this list Shahriar is the city of two uprisings: 26 names belong to the year 1398, 56 names to the year 1404 and 2 names to the year 1401.
Aban 1398 and Dey 1404
In Aban 1398, three consecutive days appear on this list: 3 people on 25 Aban 1398, 11 people on 26 Aban 1398 and one person on 27 Aban 1398. Six years later, in Dey 1404, Shahriar again saw grief: 15 people on 18 Dey 1404 and 12 people on 19 Dey 1404. For many other names on this page, the sources have not written the exact day of death.
The ages range from 8 to 55 years, and the median is 27 years. 11 of these 84 people were under 18; eleven children and adolescents, the youngest of whom was only 8 years old. In the list for Shahriar, none of the 84 names is clearly identified in the sources as a woman.
The adolescents of Shahriar
Taha Sadeghi Gazani, 17 years old, was killed on 18 Dey 1404 in Shahr-e Andisheh in Shahriar. The source writes that he “was killed by two military bullets, one to the heart and one to the abdomen, when he stepped in to help two women.” Another source remembers that moment like this: “while helping a wounded mother and daughter.” His body was handed over to the family two days later from Kahrizak. Ali Gholamlou, 17 years old, was also killed on the same day; the source says only: “He was a serious football fan.”
The soldier whose discharge card arrived
Sina Alizadegan, 20 years old, “had recently completed his military service.” On 18 Dey 1404, in Phase Three of Shahrak-e Andisheh, he was wounded from behind by two military bullets and died a few hours later. The source writes: “On Saturday, 20 Dey, Sina's end-of-service card arrived at the house, but he himself was no longer at home.” He was buried on 22 Dey in Behesht-e Rezvan.
Fathers and breadwinners
Abolghasem Babaei, 44 years old, a driver and “father of three children,” from Kangavar, was killed on 20 Dey 1404 in the Vahidieh area by pellets and batons; the last name on this page. Saeed Shahgoli, 40 years old, “married, father of a 12-year-old son,” according to the source “had never been politically active before Dey of last year.” Mohammad Sarani, 30 years old, was at the protests with his wife; a bullet struck his leg and his wife took him to hospital, but he lost his life from bleeding. The source introduces him as a Baluch citizen and father of two children who was buried in Gorgan. Ashkan Shoushtari, 32 years old, had looked after his elderly father after his mother's death. Ghasem Shamsi Taraghieh, 34 years old, was a drywall installer in construction and was buried in his birthplace, Hamadan.
Sources and incompleteness
These 84 names are not all of those killed in Shahriar. The real number is higher, and especially from Aban 1398 many names have not yet come out; for every name from Shahriar we have at least one source. The main sources are HRANA / Human Rights Activists in Iran with 43 cases, Iran International with 35, Persian Wikipedia with 24, Amnesty International with 19, IranWire with 14, iranhrs.org with 13, the Iran Human Rights Society with 6, and Atheist Iran and Independent Persian with 4 cases each, and 5 names appear in the list of the Office of the Presidency dated 12 Bahman 1404. If you knew one of these people of Shahriar, send us your memory or correction.
