In the words of those close to them

His mother says about this: “They only gave us a shoe that was not my son's shoe, and it is not clear which of the martyrs' shoe it was... They gave nothing: his mobile phone, his wallet, his clothes; I wanted these as keepsakes of my child; all of these carried the last scent of my child, and they denied us even that.”— His mother

Persian original

مادرش در این باره می‌گوید: «فقط یک کفشی به ما دادند که کفش پسر من نبود و معلوم نیست کفش کدام یک از شهدا بود... هیچی ندادند گوشی موبایل، کیف پولش، لباسهایش، من اینها را برای یادگاری از بچه‌ام می‌خواستم اینها همه، آخرین بوی بچه مرا می‌داد که آن را نیز دریغمان کردند.»

We only want our child's killer...— His mother

Persian original

ما فقط قاتل بچه‌مان را می خواهیم...
