In the words of those close to them

“They handed over the body to us and we took it to Behesht-e Zahra and buried it, and because we were afraid it would create problems for family members, we said nothing in the memorial notice about how my son died.”— Mr. Ra'isi Najafi's father

Persian original

«جنازه را به ما تحویل دادند و ما آن را به بهشت‌زهرا بردیم و دفن کردیم و چون می‌ترسیدیم که برای اعضای خانواده مشکلی ایجاد شود، در اطلاعیه مجلس ترحیم از چگونگی فوت پسرم چیزی نگفتیم.»
