The Iranian government at first tried, by constructing a narrative, to present him as a "Basij member", but the family's resistance against threats and inducements and the publicising of his true identity as a protester caused the Islamic Republic to hand over his body to his family so they could hold a funeral and bury him.
Persian original
حکومت ایران در ابتدا تلاش کرد تا با روایت‌سازی، او را «بسیجی» معرفی کند اما مقاومت خانواده مقابل تهدیدها و تطمیع‌ها و اطلاع‌رسانی درباره هویت واقعی او که معترض بود، باعث شد که جمهوری اسلامی پیکرش را به خانواده‌اش تحویل دهد تا تشییع کنند و به خاک بسپارند.
Amir-Hessam was buried on Friday, 12 Dey 1404.
Persian original
امیرحسام جمعه ۱۲دی۱۴۰۴ به خاک سپرده شد.
