Rasoul Yazdani used to say that if there are protests and we don't join in, nothing will ever change and they will kill every single one of us.
Persian original
رسول یزدانی می‌گفت اگر اعتراض بشود و ما همراهی نکنیم هیچ‌چیز هرگز تغییر نمی‌کند و تک‌تک ما را می‌کشند.

Rasoul Yazdani, 42 years old, was killed on Thursday, 18 Dey 1404, in the protests in Shahrak-e "Andisheh", Karaj, by live ammunition of armed plainclothes forces of the Islamic Republic.
