- Arvin Salemi-Rad, a 16-year-old teenager and footballer, was wounded on 18 Dey 1404 by more than 18 pellets fired into his head by forces of the Islamic Republic from inside a Basij base on "Ashouri" Street in Bushehr. He was in a coma at Persian Gulf Hospital in Bushehr until 3 Bahman, but lost his life due to the severity of his injuries. A video of him on a hospital bed was published while hospital security officers violently tried to prevent the recording of the video and the spreading of information about his condition. From 3 to 6 Bahman they did not hand his body over to the family, but in the end the family was able to receive his body without paying money, on condition of a burial in silence. His burial took place with a large presence of police forces and also a crowd who stood clapping and ululating. Arvin was happy, free and healthy and, like many football-loving teenagers of the south, was passionate about the football pitch and skilled at Bandari dancing and shaking the shoulders and chest.
Persian original
آروین سالمیراد، نوجوان ۱۶ساله و فوتبالیست، در ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ با شلیک بیش از ۱۸ ساچمه به سرش توسط نیروهای جمهوری اسلامی از داخل پایگاه بسیج در خیابان «عاشوری» بوشهر مجروح شد. او تا سوم بهمن در بیمارستان خلیج فارس بوشهر در کما بود، اما به دلیل شدت جراحات جانش را از دست داد. ویدیویی از این او بر روی تخت بیمارستان منتشر شد در حالی که مأموران حراست بیمارستان با خشونت تلاش میکردند مانع ضبط ویدیو و اطلاعرسانی درباره وضعیت او شوند. از روز سوم تا ششم بهمن پیکر او را به خانواده تحویل ندادند، ولی در نهایت خانواده بدون پرداخت پول توانست به شرط خاکسپاری در سکوت پیکرش را تحویل بگیرد. خاکسپاری او با حضور گسترده نیروهای انتظامی و نیز جماعتی که ایستادهاند کف میزدند و کل میکشیدند انجام شد. آروین شاد، رها و سلامت بود و مانند بسیاری از نوجوانان جنوب پا به توپ، شیفته زمین فوتبال و مسلط به رقص بندری و لرزش شانه و سینه بود.
After their death
- With many pledges, they handed his body over to his family on 6 Bahman.
Persian original
پیکرش را با تعهدهای بسیار، در تاریخ ۶بهمن به خانوادهاش تحویل دادند.
- Arvin Salemi-Rad's body was buried in "Tangak" Cemetery in Bushehr with a small number of acquaintances present.
Persian original
