Khordad 1388

The source says he was “a responsible and intelligent person” and was interested in environmental issues. On 30 Khordad, Bahman Jenabi, 19 years old, who had a plumbing and building-services shop and was due to begin his military service in Dey, was killed by a bullet to the heart; according to the sources, because of the green cloth he had tied to his motorcycle. His family said: “Bahman was very precious to us, an always outstanding student and a hard-working person who was useful to society.” Masoud Hashemzadeh, 27 years old, who played the santur and the harmonica and collected films, was also killed on 30 Khordad. One of his parents said: “My child cared about the people and his country.”
Mostafa Ghanian, 27 years old, a motor-racing referee and music lover, was killed in the early hours of 26 Khordad on the roof of his house in Saadatabad by a bullet to the forehead while he was calling out “Allahu Akbar.”
Kahrizak and after
Ramin Aghazadeh Ghahremani, 30 years old, whom his family considered a “calm, harmless, apolitical and family-attached” young man, went to the police station himself together with his mother and was taken to Kahrizak. Two days after his release, on 27 Tir 1388, he lost his life. His mother said: “I thought at most they would ask a question and he would come back with me.” Ramin Pourandarjani, 26 years old, a doctor, a conscript soldier and top student of the Tabriz medical school, was found dead on 19 Aban 1388. His mother said: “Whoever says he committed suicide is lying and should fear God.” Mostafa Karimbeigi, 26 years old, who used to say “our only weapon is dialogue,” was killed on 6 Dey 1388 by a bullet to the forehead. This sentence from his family remains: “The blood money for my son is the freedom of Iran.”
