Alireza Sabouri Miandehi -علیرضا صبوری میاندهی

Alireza passed away more than two years after the post-election riots in Boston at an age of 22.

In the afternoon of 15 June, when he was just nineteen years of age, Alireza was trying to help rescue fellow protesters wounded in front of the Basij militia’s Ashura base, Battalion 117, when he was struck by a bullet and fell unconscious.
He was then taken to Ibn Sina hospital in west Tehran for treatment. Although he gained consciousness at the hospital, doctors were unable to fully remove the bullet from inside his skull. “The bullet exploded inside his head, a fragment left through an eyebrow, [but] the projectile stayed inside his skull while four shrapnel fragments were stuck. The projectile was extracted during a complicated and intense operation, but the fragments remained inside,” a family member told the Green Voice of Freedom on condition of anonymity.

Eleven months after he was first wounded, Alireza, accompanied by the family member, left Iran for Turkey to seek medical treatment through the UN office there. However, despite family pleas to relocate him to Germany where some of his relatives reside, the UN officials in Turkey rejected the family’s calls and instead decided to send Alireza to the United States. “We told them [the UN] time after time that he should be in Germany, close his relatives who could take care of him. But as usual, the UN completely ignored our calls and sent him to the US,” the family argued.
Nearly 900 days after being shot, Alireza Miandehi Sabouri died at the tender age of 22, 6,000 miles away from home in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was buried. “He passed away in a foreign land in silence and loneliness,” the family member continued. “He was treated unjustly both in Iran and abroad.

Arash Arkan

2011-11-17T13:10:00.000-08:00

Arash Arkan, 29, is an other victim of the post election riots and prison abuses. He died after one year, 2 months and 26 days of imprisonment, due to lack of health care urgently needed for his kidney disease. He died of heart failure three days after he was hospitalized.
Arash Arkan was arrested on 4 November 2009 while helping a protester who was being chased by the police for having taken pictures from an opposition protests close to Vali-Asr Square in Tehran. According to Iran-Emrooz, Arkan, who had realised that a young protester was in danger of being arrested by Iranian security forces for the sole "crime" of filming the unrest using his mobile phone, quickly intervened and attempted to trip one of the security forces to allow for the protester to flee the scene. Although Arkan's heroic act helped his fellow Iranian to run away, it wasn't enough to to save himself from the batons of the police forces present at the scene.
Until three months after his arrest, there was no information on Arkan's arrest or his place of detention. Despite having spent more than a year in prison, judicial authorities sentenced Arkan to eight months in prison disregarding the fact that he had already spent eight months in detention.
His father, one year after his son's death, breaks the silence and speaks out about the imprisonment and death of Arash. Here you can find the transcript of the interview with him. For Persian speakers the audio file is here.

Behnoud Ramazani

2011-03-27T13:50:00.000-07:00

Behnoud Ramazani - بهنود رمضانی

He was a 19 year old student was killed by basiji forces in Tehran the night of Chaharshanbe Soori - the Persian Fire Festival, March 15th.

Eyewitness report:

Last night, Behnoud Ramezani was in the Narmak area in Tehran around Square 22, when he was attacked and killed by Basiji forces in Tehran. It was around 10 PM local time, a number of young Iranian’s were heading back home from after celebrating Char Shanbeh Soori ( The Iranian Fire festival),when Basiji forces mounted on Motorcycles attacked and beat the defenseless youths with electric batons .

Behnoud like many young Iranians was carrying home-made fireworks in his pockets. During the attack all the fireworks in his pockets exploded, and he was injured severely during the explosion, as his body was literally torn apart. It was probably one of the worst scene I have ever witness in my life. Apart from myself, there were several others witness as well, and after hearing our screams and cries for help others soon arrived at the scene. Two of the basijis abandoned their motorcycles and escaped with the help of other basijis on motorcycles.

10 minutes later an ambulance arrived and brought Behnoud to the hospital and his friends followed the ambulance with their own cars. After 30 minutes the staff at Al-Qadir hospital told us that his condition was critical, and there was little hope. Today, when I went to the same place and asked people about last nights situation, everyone told me that they didn’t know anything! It was very strange for me!

After searching awhile in his neighborhood, finally I saw some of his friends with his picture in their arms and they told me that he had died. I asked them about Behnoud, and they told me that he was student at Mechanical Engineer University in the Northern part of Iran, but he was from Tehran-Pars area in Tehran, and since he was a close friend of ours, he had come to visit us, but unfortunately he was killed by basiji forces.

Elnaz Babazadeh

2011-03-12T05:56:00.000-08:00

Elnaz Babazadeh - الناز بابارده

According to HRANA, three members of the Basij militia misused their ID cards in the city of Tabriz to abduct, beat, assault, rape, and kill a young woman with a gun. They dumped her body in the outskirts of the city. The news has stirred a lot of emotional reactions from the public. (The report is from July 11, 2010)

Based on information obtained by HRANA reporters, after Elnaz Babazadeh went missing, her family reported the disappearance to all official Iranian government agencies. After a week-long search, her body was delivered to the family by the coroner’s office while the coroner, after examining the body, confirmed assault, battery, rape,and murder by shooting. The police announced that the body was discovered near Emamieh Cemetery in Tabriz.

After the family filed a complaint against the murder of their daughter [demanding to press charges], the police arrested three citizens from Tabriz who are active members of the Basij [militia]. The main suspect and defendant confessed to all the above-mentioned charges in the police station. The defendant stated he entered the vehicle of the young woman in Tabriz’s Valiasr neighbourhood under the pretext of “*ordering to what is known to be virtuous”, and to give a notice to the young woman for “bad hijab”, in the context of the hijab and chastity program undertaken by the police and the Basij forces. The defendant then used his firearm to threaten the woman. The police forced her to drive to the outskirts of the city. That is where they raped her. Then, she died from three gun shots to the chest.

It is reported that the main suspect of the case is currently held by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) due to the sensitivity of the issues involved.

*It is an Islamic obligation that requires everyone to invite people to do the right thing. It is used by the Taliban, the government of Saudi Arabia, and the Iranian Islamic regime to justify interference with various aspects of the lives of citizens; for example, the way they dress, their involvement in intimate relationships, and private gatherings they hold.

Mohsen Bikvand

This is already an older case but since I really don´t have time to catch up with all cases, I post it only now. Mohsen Bikvand has been tortured to death in Rajaishahr prison in Karaj, Ward 6, Hall 16. After the report, he was not a political prisoner and he passed away on 31st of August 2010. Bikvand was transferred to solitary in the beginning of June 2010. Gohardasht Prisoners believe that prison officials ordered his murder and the murder of other dissident prisoners is carried out systematically by prison officials. The Human Rights Activists in Iran published a film of the tortures of this prisoner and according to this document, both of his feet broke as a result of torture, his hands were made useless and his body was burned.

Mohammad Ali Haj-Aghaee

2011-01-24T14:38:00.000-08:00

Mohammad Ali Haj Aghaee was from Faridan and was a hardworking laborer.

He was arrested at 1983 accused of supporting PMOI.

At the time of his arrest his two children were struggling with a disease that only a few people have it in millions.

While in prison, he tells her wife to sell everything for the treatment of the children.

The doctors said that his children will become paralyzed at 18 and then will die.

The clerical dictatorship uses the condition of his children as a tool for putting pressure on him at the prison but he resists.

In 1988 when he gets out of prison he is faced with the death of his two children in a short while.

He was once more arrested during the uprisings of 1988.

At his trial the criminal judge Moghisehee smells his file and says: “it smells like Ashraf (the place of residence of PMOI members in Iraq)”.

His lawyer was not even allowed to see the file. The lawyer said: “I just know that he was accused of being a Mohareb (one who wages war against God)” but the lawyer added: “I don’t know in which Harb (fight against God here) he had participated. If they call the unarmed protests a Harb then millions had participated in this Harb and they are still Mohareb.

Moghisehee told Aghaee in court that he will be executed unless he confesses that he was a spy of Israel and he had received money from US.

Mohammad Ali Haj Aghaee was executed at dawn of today, Monday Jan. 24. 2011. together with Jafar Kazemi.

Jafar Kazemi

2011-01-24T14:33:00.000-08:00

RAHANA – Jafar Kazemi was arrested on September 18, 2009 and sentenced to death. In a letter written to the United Nation’s secretary general and published by HRDAI, Kazemi’s wife describes the family’s ordeal since her husband’s arrest.

Jafar Kazemi has been executed today, 24th of January in the early morning in Tehran.

The following is the English translation of Rodabeh Akbari’s letter:

My name is Roudabeh Akbari. I am a housewife, married to the political prisoner Jafar Kazemi and a mother of two children.

My husband was arrested on September 18, 2009 at 6 am on Haft-Hoz Street in Tehran. We did not hear from him for two weeks. He was tortured for three days and then placed in solitary confinement for 74 days under harsh conditions.
My husband was accused of supporting and propagandizing for the Mojahedin Organization (MKO), as well as visiting our son in Ashraf (MKO camp in Iraq).
In prison, after being tortured and spending three months in solitary, he was pressured to make televised confessions. Faced with his resistance, they then tortured him again, and three of his teeth were broken as a result of severe beatings. Presently, my husband remains in a worrisome physical and emotional state.
At the end of the initial trial, during which judge Moghiseh sentenced him to death, my husband’s lawyer verbally objected to the ruling, which he argued was excessive and unlawful for the existing charge of anti-state propaganda. The judge remarked that he was under pressure at that time by higher authorities to rule in this fashion. According to my husband’s lawyer, during the second trial, the court did not even look at the defense statement, which contained 3 pages of arguments regarding the anti-state propaganda charge, and in a 2-line ruling upheld the initial court’s ruling (death sentence). Judge
Zargar was the judge who presided over the appeal hearing.
The interrogator has told my husband that “we need to sacrifice a few in order to save the regime, and your name has been drawn as one of them”. My husband was asked again to make an interview about the Ashura events of December 27th 2009, but he refused to comply as was arrested 3 months before Ashura. The interrogators threatened that if he refused to make the confession, they would torture his wife and his children before his eyes. In spite of threats by the interrogators that they would cut his wife in pieces before his eyes, he continued to resist making any confessions in interview. The interrogators reacted by telling my husband that his execution was final and would be enforced. After 74 days of solitary in ward 209, he was held in a place they call the suite, before being moved one week later to ward 350.
For three weeks, despite repeated attempts by me and my younger child, they refused to let us visit with him.
Which law, country or ethics, says that visiting one’s child is a crime? If the Islamic Republic considers visiting your children a crime punishable by death, then my husband is guilty.
Given the critical situation of the political prisoners, and considering the total lack of will to review the inhumane and illegal court rulings against innocent prisoners, I demand the immediate stay of execution for those have been sentenced to death.
What I described above does not only apply not to my husband and our family; all the families of political prisoners are in the same excruciating psychological situation. All the families of political prisoners want immediate action from the United Nations and the UNHCR commissioner.
Yours truly,
Roudabeh Akbari, wife of political prisoner Jafar Kazemi

The motive for the killing of the scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, remains unclear. Colleagues said that he was not involved in the country’s nuclear program, but according to a report from Iran’s state-supported Press TV, a spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused foreign countries concerned that Iran may intend to develop nuclear weapons of being behind the murder. Iranian state television called Mr. Ali Mohammadi a “staunch supporter of the Islamic Revolution,” and The Los Angeles Times reported that the scientist was described in other Iranian media outlets as a former member of the Revolutionary Guards.One of Mr. Ali Mohammadi’s students said that he had severed his ties to the Revolutionary Guards years ago. The student added:

Since two months ago, he has been venting his frustration with almost everybody in the system. [...] He was openly criticizing high-ranking officials in classes.

A youg woman, Elahe, 24 years old, was allegedly
assassinated at Passdaaraans' Eshrat-Abaad concentration camp on Friday

بر طبق خبری از یک منبع موثق از داخل عشرت آباد:
دختری با نام کوچک الهه .24 ساله . (قد متوسط/ هنگام دستگیری مانتوی مشکی و شلوار لی بر تن داشته است) در هنگام بازجویی با برخورد صندلی به سر دچار خونریزی مغزی شده و بلافاصله به شهادت میرسد.
بر طبق گزارش رسیده این دختر از کودکان بی خانواده بوده که در یک نوانخانه ای (پرورشگاه) در کردستان دوران کودکی خود را گذرانده و سپس برای کار به تهران آمده است. وی در ماههای اخیر ظاهرا در یک تولیدی لباس در نزدیکی میدان انقلاب به عنوان کارگر برشکار مشغول بکار بوده است.
از آنجایی که این دختر هیچگونه ولی و رسیدگی کننده ای نداشته و بازجو دائما از او اسم و ادر اقوام و آدرس محل سکونت و افرادی که با او همکاری کرده اند را خواسته و در یک لحظه با عصبانیت صندلی را به سمت او پرتاب میکند و این امر موجب مرگ او در عصر روز 18 دیماه 1388 میشود.
جسد او را بلافاصله از پادگان به نقطه ای نا معلوم برده اند.

(به علاوه بر اساس همین گزارش , افراد زخمی در زندان عشرت آباد فاقد هرگونه درمان و داروی و لباس گرم میباشند و با دختران بسیار رفتار غیر انسانی میشود)

Sajjad Sabzalipour

2010-03-18T15:59:00.000-07:00

Sajjad (Kaveh) Sabzalipour - سجاد (کاوه) سبزعلی‌پور

From a private source I received a news about the martyrdom of Sajjad Sabzalipour (nicknamed Kaveh), a young man of 24, who was killed by the basiji on the Enghelab square. Allegedly he has been hit in his eye by a bullet shot from a roof by a sniper. This news has been sent to me on the 8th of January 2010. He should be buried in the countryside of Rasht. This young man was allegedly an actor in TV series, even if I do not know him. This photo should be from the series Panjomin khorshid. If anybody knows more, please post or send it to me. The source is stating that it is not the same person named as Kaveh Alipour.
Here there is a mention of his name together with the name of an other martyr, Meisam Ebadi and there are more mentions in Persian.

Shahram vs. Shahrokh or others

2010-03-18T15:00:00.001-07:00

Dear readers, I deeply apologise for my absence. I was very busy these days with my personal and work affairs and I did not have the time to catch up with the new events.
As you probably noticed, there was a big dispute over the videos circulating around the atrocities committed by the Iranian police during the Ashoora demonstrations.
A video of a man three times overrun by a car has been shown and the victim has been identified with at least two people, Shahram Farajzade Tarani and Shahrokh Rahmani.
Ultimately it has been proven that the victim is Shahram Tarani, for example by this photo. On the photo he is wearing the same shirt as at the moment of his martyrdom.

There have been considerable errors about the identification of the young martyr on the video, for example the VOA report identified him as Shahrokh Rahmani. It is possible that other people died during that day, but from the photos and videos it is clear that the man in that concrete video shown is Shahram Farajzade Tarani.

Fasih Yasamani - executed

2010-01-07T13:09:00.000-08:00

Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA): On the morning of Wednesday, January 6th at 4:00am, Fasih Yasamani, a political prisoner, was hanged in Khoy Prison.

According to a report from the Committee of Human Rights Activists in Kurdistan, the execution officials unexpectedly and without following the legal procedure executed this Kurdish citizen who was a native of the village Khoy (located in north-western Iran). He was in prison since 2007. The officials refuse to hand over the body to his family.

Mr. Yasamani was accused of belonging to an opposition party (Pajvak, an armed Kurdish group). However, there was no evidence to support the accusations, except for Mr. Yasamani’s own confessions which, according to him, was said under torture.

Fasih was 28 at the time of his execution. After Ehsan Fatahian [who was executed on Nov 11th], Fasih is the second political prisoner to be executed in the Kurdish region in recent months.

At the moment, there are 17 other political prisoners on death row in Kurdistan:

Ms. Zeynab Jalalian, Habibollah Latifi, Shirkoo Moarefi, Farhad Vakili, Farzad Kamangar, Ali Heydarian, Hossein Khezri, Rashid Akhondaki, Mohammad Amin Agooshi, Ahmad Pouladkhani, Seeyed Sami Hosseini, Seyyed Jamal Mohammadi, Rostam Arkia, Mostafa Salimi, Anvar Rostami, Hasan Talei, and Iraj Mohammadi

Abbas (Shahram) Farajzadeh Tarani

2010-01-07T12:52:00.000-08:00

by NIAC, 07-Jan-2010

Cross-posted from niacINsight.com.

To the world, he is the man that was brutally run over a police car during Ashura’s protests, but to his family, he is Shahram.

{UPDATE: He was run over 3 times which proves the intentional killing}

Abbas (Shahram) Farajzadeh Tarani was thirty-years old when a police car backed into him and then ran over him again, killing him on Dec. 27. His death was captured by fellow protesters by this thirty second youtube video. He worked in a paint factory and leaves behind his wife and five year-old daughter. Like many of those martyred during the post-election unrest, the Iranian government has done its best to stop the impact of his death.

As was told to us by a third-party source, after he was hit, fellow protesters and one relative took his body to the hospital. But, when his family arrived at the hospital, his body was missing. Shortly thereafter, government officials called his brother to tell him that Shahram’s body was being buried in Behesht Zahra, the main cemetery in Tehran.

When the brother arrived, he was faced with four intelligence officers and they warned him not to cause a scene. His family was told they were not allowed to hang up the traditional black cloths on his home or his office to notify friends of his death. The government had taken the liberty of washing his body and wrapping it in a white cloth, both of which are important rite in Iranian mourning process normally overseen by close friends and relatives, and then, in proper tradition, wrapped him in a white cloth. They were allowed to see the body for a moment and noticed that he was covered in stitches.

After burying the body, families normally hold a ceremony at a mosque on the third day of the person’s death. But for the Farajzadeh Taranis, each mosque they approached refused them. Apparently the government had threatened the mosques and forbade them from hosting the ceremony.

Like many families who have lost their relatives to the post-election upheaval, Shahram’s family was forced to quietly mourn for him in their home, in fact, his brother had to sign an agreement saying he would not have a public ceremony.

As if the Iranian intelligence community does monitor its citizens’ behavior enough, four intelligent officers oversaw the Shahram’s ceremony at his family’s home. Men filled one room and women the other, all the while, Shahram’s father kept crying out, “Shahram, your blood was unjustly shed!”

Two days ago, on Monday, a week after his death, the Farajzadeh Tarani’s were allowed to mourn the seventh day since Shahram’s death at a mosque. Normally families print out flyers and paste them outside the mosque or near their work places, but once again, they were denied this basic custom. Instead they printed flyers themselves and handed them out to friends who seemed to be unaware of their son’s death. Traditionally, on the top of these flyers is a line of poetry, and his reads, “From every death, rises some sadness, but there are differences between death and death.”

“I feel he died in vain,” expressed one of Shahram’s relatives to our third-party source. So the responsibility once again falls to outside media and Iranian citizen journalism to ensure the world remembers Shahram’s fight for freedom.

Some names of new victims. Still controversial.

2010-01-01T12:44:00.000-08:00

The opposition has released a provisional list of protesters killed in today's demonstrations in Tehran. This is only a preliminary list and only concerns the day of Ashura, December 27, in the capital. A woman was allegedly shot and killed in Sirjan during protests yesterday, but she is not among these victims. According to Jonbesheh Raheh Sabz, they are:

- Mehdi Farhadinia, 34, Mehdi Farhadirad according to the Islamic Republic Police News Service
- Mohammad Ali Rasekhinia, 40
- Amir Arshadi, 30
- Shahram Faraji, 30
- Seyed Ali Habibi Mousavi (nephew of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi), 42
- Jahanbakht Bazooki, 50
- According to the Islamic Republic Police News Service, an unidentified woman, 43, and man, 31 were also killed. It is unclear how the police could be so precise on their ages and not have their names.

Shahrokh Rahmani

2010-01-01T12:30:00.000-08:00

THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT THE REAL STORY OF THE MARTYRDOM OF SHAHROKH RAHMANI. AS FAR AS WE KNOW THERE ARE VIDEOS CIRCULATING ON THE INTERNET WHICH SHOW THE EVENT OF A YOUNG MAN RUN OVER MORE TIMES BY A CAR. BUT THERE ARE CONTRADICTION ON HIS IDENTIFICATION. THE SAME PERSON HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH MORE NAMES. THE PERSON ON THE VIDEO IS WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY SHAHRAM FARAJZADE, BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY HIS RELATIVES AND THE OTHER VIDEOS SHOW EVIDENT SIGNS OF SOME KIND OF MANIPULATION. WE DO NOT EXCLUDE THAT SHAHROKH ALSO DIED ON THAT DAY BUT IT NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I WILL BE BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (I AM VERY BUSY THESE DAYS)

Green Way Movement (Jaras): During Ashoura, on Valiasr intersection, martyr Shahrokh Rahmani was run over by an anti-riot police vehicle.

The day before, Shahrokh Rahmani and Saeed Ali Mousavi were both buried in Behesht Zahra cemetery.

According to the reports Jaras has received, the family of Shahrokh Rahmani were threatened by anti-riot police to not give any interviews.

Security forces agreed to give Shahrokh’s body to his family under the condition that they will not give any interviews and claim the cause of death to be a car accident.

شهید راه آزادی شاهرخ رحمانی

هویت یکی دیگر از شهدای عاشورای تهران مشخص شد
شهید شاهرخ رحمانی توسط خودروی نیروی انتظامی زیر گرفته شد
شبکه جنبش راه سبز (جرس): هویت یکی از شهدای عاشورای تهران مشخص شد.
به گزارش خبرنگار جرس، شهید شاهرخ رحمانی در روز عاشورا ودر چهار راه ولی عصر توسط خودروی نیروی انتظامی زیر گرفته شد و به شهادت رسید.
پیکر این شهید روز گذشته همزمان با پیکر شهید سیدعلی موسوی در بهشت زهرا به خاک سپرده شد.
پیگیری های خبرنگار جرس حکایت از آن دارد که خاواده شهید رحمانی توسط نیروهای امنیتی به شدت تهدید شده اند به گونه ای که در هراس از این نیروها حاضر به هیچ گونه مصاحبه ای نیستند.

نیروهای امنیتی به شرطی پیکر این شهید را تحویل خانواده اش دادند که هیچ گونه مصاحبه ای انجام ندهند و علت درگذشت او را تنها تصادف عنوان کنند.

Amir Arshad Tajmir

2009-12-31T01:37:00.000-08:00

This young man should be one of the victims, Amir Arshad Tajmir, son of Shahin Mahinfar, who is a known radio speaker in Iran. The sources are a little bit controversial about his full name and age as well, giving it 30 or 25. The original article:

Norooz news:
امیر ارشد تاجمیر، فرزند شهین مهین فر گوینده و مجری پیشکسوت رادیو و تلویزیون، یکی از کسانی است که در حوادث عاشورای خونین تهران به شهادت رسید.

لازم به ذکر است که تاكنون نسبت امير ارشدي با گوینده معروف صداوسیما از سوی خانواده این شهید تاييد نشده است.

هر چند نام آن او در اطلاعيه نیروی انتظامی امير ارشد ذكر شده و سن وي 30 سال عنوان شده بود، اما منابع خبري می گویند که سن این شهید 25 سال و نام دقيق او نيز امير ارشد تاجمير است.

با توجه به لزوم بررسي بيشتر پيكر فرزند كشته شده مجري معروف صدا و سيما در اختيار پزشكي قانوني بوده و از تحويل جنازه و زمان و مكان دفن او اطلاعي در دست نيست.

2009-12-14T11:22:00.000-08:00

Hamed Makari Anvar is said to be a victim of the unrest, but there is no other source except some commentaries like this one found here:
هویت یکی دیگر از شهدای جنش سبز فاش شد: شهید حامد مکاری انور اگر اسم او را در گوگل جستجو کنید از او به نام یکی از متهمان اغتشاشات نام برده شده است که کودتاگران از او به عنوان یک معتاد نیز نام برده اند. امروز از یک مرجع موثق عکس او به دستم رسید و خبر رسید که او به شهادت رسیده است. او به احتمال بسیار زیاد اهل شهر همدان بوده و در تهران به شهادت رسیده است. هیچ خبر دیگری در این زمینه ندارم. در مورد منبع خبر هم به دلایلی که همه شما بهتر میدانید نمیتوانم صحبتی بکنم. دوستانی که میتوانند این عکس و اطلاعات را به دست مراجع معتبر در جنبش سبز برسانند تا نام او نیز به نام شهدای این جنیش اضافه شود و لکه ننگ دیگری بر ننگهای دیگر کوتاگران افزوده گردد.
The person who is writing is not sure about this case and it seems nobody has more information, there are only tweets with this name and photo.
Other sources speak about a drug addict bearing the same name.... it is necessary to find out anything more. There is just written he was from Hamadan. It is quite a doubtful case. Anybody heard anything?

Hamed Rouhinejad is a young prisoner who has multiple sclerosis. He was arrested on bogus charges by agents from the Intelligence Ministry, 40 days before the election. Following the post-election mass protests, because of false promises and threats, Rouhinejad ended up playing a role in the show trials as a protester, a role that resulted in a death sentence for him.

Hamed wrote 2 letters to the World to declare his innocence. Excerpt:

“Poverty and the hardships we were facing as a working class family and the huge expenses of my treatment as an MS patient forced me to leave the country. I did not want to impose on my family more than what they were already facing. I left Iran in hopes of going to the U.S. or a European country, but I unfortunately ended up in Iraq. Human traffickers took all my money. I was detained in Arbil for 4 months. After my release I started working in a restaurant day and night to make some money, but my deteriorating MS and the loneliness of exile forced me to return to Iran. My return was completely legal and was in coordination with the Intelligence Ministry. Upon my return I went to the “Intelligence” officials and told them everything about my trip. After listening to me they said, “you have not committed any crime and can go back to university.” Unfortunately, 10 months later, on May 4th, 2009, I was arrested and detained until I could be used as a sacrifice in the election trials. Today, as a political prisoner, I declare that I have never belonged to any political party or group. I have never had anything to do with the elections. I deny having ever had any ties to the API (Anjoman Padeshi Iran). I deny all the charges that have been brought up against me.”

Petition and whole story here.

Mahmoud Raisi Najafi, another citizen who was beaten down at Azadi Sqr after post election incidents lost his life. It is vital to know that his name has not been announced amongst the dead people.

According to Saham News, widow of Najafi talked about how she lost her husband:” He was a laborer (allegedly cabinet installer or carpenter). He would leave the house everyday at 6am and would return home early evening. On Khordad 25th (June 15th) he did not return home until 10:30, we were all concerned about him. Around 10:30 someone rang the door bell. Since my husband had a key, I though a stranger is at the door. I asked who is it, and I heard my husband’s voice. He stated because of some problems happened to him, he is not able to open the door.

I went downstairs and opened the door. He was not in a good situation, he was injured and bleeding. I helped him to get in the house. He told me: after work today, I was coming back home from Azadi when I saw people running and some were being chased down. I saw armed forces with batons chasing and beating people. I was going my way when they start beating me down with baton. I told them many times, I’m just returning back from work, I have no idea what’s going on, but they did not listen to me. I went unconscious and when I opened my eyes next time, I found my self in a car.

I tried to find out about my situation when I noticed there are other people with my situation around me which I think they were all dead or were unconscious and I was thrown over their bodies. I start hitting the doors and made some noise when they noticed I was a live. They stopped the car and opened the door. I begged them and told them I have a family and I was returning back from work and I don’t know what has happened to me. It seemed like one of them felt bad and pulled me out of the car and they left. I wasn’t able to stand on my own feet. By making noise and moving my hands I got the attention of some people and asked for help. After a while few people came to me and I asked them where I was. I was told, this place is Hakimie. I told them about my situation and asked for their help to get me a car and take me to my house.

Khadije Haidari added: Mr. Najafi was alive for another 13 days. His body was severely injured, his feet were swollen, and his hands were paralyzed. His stomach was also swollen. We were scared to take him to the hospital; we did not want to get in trouble. During this time, his situation worsened by day. On Tir 6th (June 27th) my father in-law came and we decided to take him to the hospital of Tarafe. We were told sicne they are extremely busy and don’t have any bed available, take him home and bring him back tomorrow. He slept that night, but did not wake up the next morning when we wanted to take him back to the hospital”. Source.

This is a photo of Omid Golbaz before he was arrested. He is a student deprived from education because of political reasons.

44 nameless bodies buried in Beheshte Zahra cemetery

2009-08-27T12:41:00.000-07:00

In the recent days 44 nameless dead were buried in the Beheshte Zahra cemetery south of Tehran, in the section 203 of the cemetery. Source: LA Times, August 23

Video with a text in english here, telling the bodies were completely frozen, pieces of ice.

An Iranian lawmaker vowed Saturday to examine allegations that dozens of unidentified people killed in the recent post-election unrest were secretly buried last month in the country's largest cemetery.

The reformist website Norooznews.org on Friday cited an unnamed employee of the capital's Behesht Zahra cemetery as saying that 44 unidentified corpses were buried July 12 and 15 amid heavy security.

Majid Nasirpour, a reformist lawmaker who serves on the parliament's Social Affairs Committee, filed a request for an inquiry, reported the website Parlemannews.ir.

"This news story needs to be verified," he told the website Saturday. "I will ask the committee to investigate the allegations."

The number of those killed during the weeks of violence that followed the disputed June 12 presidential election is a source of controversy: Iranian officials say that as few as 20 died, nine of whom were pro-government militiamen. Iranian opposition figures say that at least 69 have been killed, and Western officials in Tehran estimate the number of dead nationwide to be in the hundreds.

Norooznews, the online incarnation of a respected newspaper shut down by authorities in 2002, said it had obtained the registration numbers of the burial permits to back up its report. The website previously reported that bodies were piled up at a mortuary in southwest Tehran.

Iranian authorities have made a concerted effort to downplay the numbers and accounts of those killed during the unrest, pressuring families not to hang mourning banners on their homes and ordering mosques not to allow memorial services.

Nonetheless, mourners Thursday night marked the 40th-day burial anniversary of Sohrab Arabi, a 19-year-old who was apparently shot in the chest during a June 15 demonstration and whose whereabouts was unknown for almost a month.

They took to the streets and chanted political slogans in the expansive Tehran apartment complex where his family lives, videos posted to the Internet showed.

Amir Mirza

2009-08-20T13:46:00.001-07:00

This story has been sent to me from a private source.
This young man is an other victim of torture and horrible treatment of people during and after the post-election riots. On one of the last days of June he was badly wounded by Basijis and forcibly arrested near one of the main squares in Tehran, and then sent to prison, accused of several crimes including rioting, spying and plotting to overthrow the regime during the massive street demonstrations and acting as an agent against national security. Supposedly he was identified from a newspaper photograph.

After being tortured and beaten for three days, he was finally released on a high bail paid by his family.

Unfortunately he died some days later (due to complications of internal lung bleeding and meningitis). Even though he was denied the medical treatment he was detained again and tied up on the floor naked till he died while "checking his documents" by security forces at the hospital. His body was kept there but finally delivered to his home when his family paid a huge amount of money and under strict conditions and agreements.

On February 12, 2009, Mr. Davoudi was detained by Intelligence agents in his residence in the city of Shahin Shahr in Esfahan, and he was released on a 100,000 USD bail bond on April 26. During Mr. Davoudi’s incarceration, he was subjected to psychological pressures by Intelligence investigators. Twenty days ago, Mr. Davoudi was hospitalized with severe depression, and he died on Monday, July 27. Medical staff declared the cause of his death as heart attack. Source.

Ramin Ghahremani was released from jail 15 days after his initial arrest, with visible signs of torture on his body. After his release, he told his mother that he was hanged by his feet for several days and took severe blows to the head. Ramin Ghahremani was admitted to the Milad Hospital after his release and passed away there. One of Ramin Ghahremani’s relatives told Rooz, “At the hospital they told us that Ramin’s skull is broken, but after his death security officers took him away and returned his body to his family four days later.”

According to this relative, the Ghahremani family was barred from holding a simple memorial at their house and are under heavy pressure to refrain from granting any interviews or disseminating information. Source Rooz online.

New Names: Mohsen Moradi, Hassan Kazemini, Abbas Disnad

2009-08-05T10:05:00.000-07:00

On his list Saeed Valadbaygi is giving some new names of victims, for the moment I cannot find other sources:
Mohsen Moradi (unknown location and date of death)
Hassan Kazemini (19 years old Tehran)
On "iranrevolution.wordpress.com" there are other entries:
Abbas Disnad (very scarce information, except that he is mentioned between the martyrs in a commemoration invitation and his grave should be located in the same lot as Neda Agha Soltan's)

UPDATE: there were rumors about a 12 years old boy, killed during the commemoration of Neda and other martyrs 40 days after their death, anyway it seems that it is an older case and it is not possible to verify that he is actually one of the martyrs.
Please post me any sources if you find anything. Thank you.

It seems that this is the name of a new victim. People are twitting that he was arrested in Kermanshah on June 20th and received extreme torture, was release from prison and died two days later. He was a medical student at the Kermanshah Medical Sciences University, and his mother Zahra (Behjat) Norouzi was arrested after wrapping her body in clay and staging a sit-in in front of the Ministry of Intelligence’s office in Kermanshah the first days of August.

The number of the killed could be even around 365

2009-08-03T02:08:00.000-07:00

Rooz Online, today, August 3, in English,
in Persian: تعداد کشته ها ممکن است تا 365 نفر باشد

A few days after the closure of the Kahrizak detention facility for “sub-standard” conditions, speculations continue about the closure of this facility. Everyday, new dimensions are revealed about the secret conditions of this horrific facility, where many individuals arrested after protesting the election results were beaten and tortured to death.

In this connection, a senior advisor to Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Alireza Beheshti, said yesterday in an interview with the official website of the minority faction in the Majlis that the number and fate of those detained in Kahrizak remain unknown. Beheshti said, “Based on some information that we have received (and still remain unsure about their reliability), a large number of individuals held at the Kahrizak facility were transported to Isfahan two days prior to the facility’s closure.”

Noting that his source of information is “remarks by the families of detainees,” Ayatollah Beheshti’s son commented on the number of recent detainees: “About 1700 names have been gathered, but that does not certainly include everyone; nor do we know how many of those who are detained are alive.”

Also announcing that there are “no exact statistics” of the number of those killed during protests and while in detention, Behesthi said, “I heard the number 365, but if we announce a figure now that is higher than the actual number, we would be accused of waging psychological warfare.”

Mir-Hossein Mousavi’s senior advisor said, “We have information that some of the people who were previously arrested as thugs and violent criminals are now used to guard the detainees.”

Alireza Beheshti also said about those who carry out interrogations are various jails such as the Kahrizak facility, “Other than thugs, some of them belong to various government institutions. Some belong to the Basij. Some are plain-clothed officers that cannot be counted as members of the Basij. Some belong to the Passdaran Revolutionary Guards Corps’ intelligence unit.”

Khatami’s Reaction

Two days before the remarks of Mir-Hossein Mousavi’s special representative at the joint reformist committee to investigate detainee conditions, former Iranian president Seyyed Mohammad Khatami blasted the government and reacted to the Kahrizak facility’s closure.

The reformist former president blasted government authorities’ statements regarding the closure of the Kahrizak facility due to sub-standard conditions, asking, “What does sub-standard mean? Does it mean, for instance, that its air ventilations did not work, or that the washrooms were dirty? No! Crimes have been committed; lives have been lost, and behaviors have been conducted against dear men, women and the youth. If such things transpire at foreign prisons, everyone would be enraged. These issues must be addressed today.”

Seyyed Mohammad Khatami also demanded legal action against those who arrested, tortured and murdered the detainees, noting, “The perpetrators of such behaviors and actions must legally tried, and the rights and reputations that have been violated must be restored.”

The list is growing...

2009-07-28T15:29:00.000-07:00

Saed Valadbaygi here gives three new names until now not present in our list. They are:
Ramin Ghahramani ( Tehran, 17 July)
Yousef Saleh (Tehran, June or July 2009)
Hossein Akbari (16 years old, on the photo)
I add them but with a question mark.

Maybe the dear readers have noticed that we changed the list on the right side. Now it is in alphabetical order following the surnames of the victims. Some names are given in various spellings since sometimes from a Persian source it is difficult to guess the right spelling (in Persian not all of the vowels are written) and of course errors may occur (for example an error in spelling may cause even one person considered as two). Further confirmations and research on the exactness of the information is needed.

Hossein Akhtar Zand

2009-07-28T14:37:00.000-07:00

Hossein Akhtar Zand is a new victim of the Islamic Regime's prisons and detention centres, like the concentration camp Kahrizak. Pictures of his tortured dead body have been published online. Warning, graphic content.

New names from Kahrizak

2009-07-28T06:45:00.000-07:00

An eye-witness story appeared about the horrible situation in Kahrizak camp which was used to gather the hundreds of detained during the riots. After the witness, these people have been beaten to death or died because of their injuries.

Hassan Shapoori (student)
Reza Fatahi (student)
Milad (no last name, 16-17 years old boy)
Morteza Salahshoor
Morad Aghasi
Mohsen Entezami

The source of the story in English, in Persian.
After the latest news, Kahrizak detention camp has been closed. Just because it became too known. It is highly probable that the prisoners have only been transferred elsewhere.

Anyway a further confirmation is needed.

Amir Javadifar (before named as Javadi Langeroodi)

2009-07-27T04:30:00.001-07:00

This young man is the next victim. He was arrested on July 9th and he died in prizon of his injuries and further savage beating. He was a 25 years old student of industrial management in the city of Qazvin. He was also a musician and a trainee actor.

Here Madyar is telling us his story as he has been told by an eyewitness:

The circumstances of the death of this handsome, radiant young man was told me by someone close to him who witnessed the final days of his life. From that moment, palpitations, grief and anguish have not left me for a second. Visibly, during the riots, he had received heavy blows to his head and face, so that he was gradually losing his sight. He had also been violently beaten on his ribs, which must have caused internal bleeding, in his lungs I think, and finally his death. I was told that when Amir was transported in this state, along with the other detainees, to Kahrizak, the other prisoners did all they could to help him and bring him relief with the meagre means they had. And Amir too, in the evenings, to thank his fellow detainees and despite his condition, brought them water and wafted the air so that the others would suffer less from the heat (I was very moved on hearing this story). Then finally, the day the detainees were transported from Kahrizak to Evin prison, in the cramped space of the van with its suffocating atmosphere in which one could hardly breathe, he began to convulse and little by little stopped breathing. The officers quickly got him out of the van to take him somewhere else.

His story in Persian and English is available here.
More about him in Persian.
During his detention he has been in a hospital for a short time, but transported back to the detention centre where he died.

The last photo showing him alive in the hospital suggests that the life of this young man could have been saved!

Entire text:

Following the attack of Islamic regime revolutionary guards and security forces to a residential house of Vali-e Asr town in Orumieh city, reportedly some of the members of one of opposition party were hiding there, house owner and his little daughter whom following their house being surrounded ,were putting their hands over their heads and while they'd given up and were getting out of their house,have been volleyed. Have been told by eyewitnesses that each father and his little daughter were shot by more than 20 bullets which caused both of them to die immediately. After that heavy clashes occurred between people and security forces which took more than 7 hours and caused one more citizen to be killed and also by people protests 4 of regime suppression forces cars burned in fire and also 6 of government revolutionary guards and intelligence forces have been killed and number of them been injured.

جان باختگان غير نظامي

به دليل شرايط امنيتي و ممعانت دولت از گردش آزاد اطلاعات و همچنين گستردگي بي سابقه نقض حقوق بشر در ايران در طي روزهاي اخير، عملا امکان ارائه ليست و آماري جامع و مستدل در خصوص جان باختگان وقايع اخير وجود ندارد، اما منابع دولتي بر اساس اعلامهاي مختلف حداکثر جان باختگان را 20 شهروند و 8 شبه نظامي(بسيجي) عنوان داشته اند اما منابع غيردولتي اين آمار را تا 210 شهروند عنوان مي نمايند.

Taraneh Mousavi

2009-07-19T10:32:00.000-07:00

This young women was Taraneh Mousavi, allegedly she has been raped and other sources say she has been murdered after. She has been arrested on the 28th June near Ghoba mosque in Tehran. A burned corpse has been found near Ghazvin. Story here and here.

UPDATE: this story was a hoax, anyway it has been recorded even by Amnesty International, so... anyone can make a mistake. The whole thing is quite unfortunate, first: because the story as it was made up, was plausible, because this kind of atrocities happens. Second, because fake stories harm the sincere intentions of the activists (including myself) and turns to a weapon in the hands of the IRI to accuse the opposition movements of lies. Unfortunately one can not verify each single story and therefore I apologise for having posted it.

Sohrab Erabi

Sohrab Erabi -سهراب اعرابی

He was a 19 years old high school student. His family found out about his death after 26 days of search, apparently he has been shot on the 15th of June. Source. More photos here and here are those from his funeral, the 13th of July. Since his death Sohrab became one of the most known martyrs, also because of his mother Parvin Fahimi, a very brave woman.

The whole story:

After a 26-day search, Parvin Fahimi finally discovered that her son Sohrab Arabi, 19, had been gunned down during the peaceful protest march from Tehran's Enghelab Square to Azadi Square on Jun. 15.
That day, an estimated three million citizens rallied to publicly denounce what they believed were fraudulent election results reinstating Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the president of Iran.
On Monday, among hundreds of mourners, including family, friends, social activists and ordinary Iranians, Sohrab, who was in his last year of high school and preparing to enter university, was buried at Behesht Zahra Cemetery.
Like Neda Agha Soltan, a now-iconic victim of state violence whose death was captured on video and distributed widely on the internet, Sorhab has quickly come to be known as yet another symbol of the struggle of the Iranian people for freedom and justice.
The news of Arabi's death was short and shocking, first appearing in various email listservs.
Though the details of his death were still unclear, and despite a plea by family members not to publicise the developments until they could gain more information about the whereabouts of his body and arrange for a funeral, within a few hours the news of Sohrab's death became the hottest internet topic in Farsi language news sites.
Initially, reports indicated that Sohrab died as a result of torture while in custody in Evin prison, but it seems that he was gunned down during the protest on Jun. 15. Officials have claimed that seven people were killed during that protest and, according to reports have told Sohrab's family that he was one of the seven.
According to a family friend, after Sohrab disappeared, his mother, Parvin Fahimi, a social activist and a member of the group Mothers for Peace, went to Evin prison as well as a host of other locations, including to police stations and the Revolutionary Courts, to try to gain information about him.
The family also filed a missing person's report with the police, providing a description of Sohrab. On Jul. 11, Fahimi was told to visit the Shapour police station, where she was shown several pictures of unidentified deceased individuals matching descriptions of Sohrab. Picture No. 12 was of her son (other reports say she was shown about 50 pictures and it took a while to find him, since they filed him in the wrong age group: at the moment of his death he was wearing a beard which made him look older).
A statement issued by the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran claims that while Sohrab was shot on Jun. 15, his body "arrived at the coroner's office on 19 June, five days after his disappearance". According to the statement, it is not clear whether Sohrab died immediately as a result of the gunshot wound to his heart or if he was taken to hospital for treatment first.
According to the family friend, who visited with the grieving family members on the evening of Jul. 11, the family was nervous that if the news of Sohrab's death were to be publicized, authorities would thwart their efforts at burying the teenaged victim.
Still, those who got news of the death were quick to spread the word. A short video of Sohrab's mother has since been posted on the social networking site Facebook. The video shows Fahimi holding a picture of her son and approaching those who have been released from Evin for information on his whereabouts.
Monday's funeral was held amid a heavy presence of plainclothes security officials. Fahimi was not allowed to address the crowd at length and only provided a few words, explaining that no further memorial ceremonies would be held for her son.
In the Shiite tradition, memorial services are held on the third, seventh and fortieth day after death. A family friend present at the funeral, who spoke on condition of anonymity, believes that the family had been pressured to forgo the usual memorial services.
Much attention has been given to the worsening human rights situation in Iran following the disputed elections and the protests. Several statements have been issued by leading opposition groups and figures urging the release of prisoners.
Mehdi Karroubi, a reformist presidential candidate, issued an open letter to Ayatollah Hashemi Shahroudi last week urging him to take concrete measures to release all those arrested in recent weeks before his tenure as head of the Judiciary comes to a close.
Karoubi's office has also set up a call centre where citizens can report on the arrest of their loved ones, or file a report about missing relatives.
The Participation Front, the leading reformist political party, also issued a statement condemning the arrest and continued detention of citizens, especially political prisoners, calling for their release.
According to the head prosecutor of the country, 2,500 individuals were arrested in the aftermath of the elections, with all but 500 now released. Official sources place the number of those killed in the clashes at 20, though human rights activists in Iran believe that both the numbers of those arrested and those killed are far greater.
"The number of those killed must be somewhere in the hundreds, but it is hard to get a real count, because families have been threatened into silence," said one leading human rights activist who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
"The bodies of those killed in the clashes or as a result of torture and beatings after being taken into custody are given to family members on condition that they do not publicise the cases," the source said. "There are many accounts by people who have seen protesters shot, but since they do not know the protesters and cannot provide verifiable information, it is difficult for us to provide a real count."
"The government is non-responsive," added the activist. "They don't respond to family members or to lawyers, so it is a very difficult situation."
While much attention has been given to the scores of political and human rights activists and journalists who have been arrested in their homes or offices, often without a warrant, Sanam, a women's rights activist, believes that "these activists are in a better position, because the world knows them. The unknown individuals who are arrested in protests are in a far worse situation, because their family members often don't even know what has happened to them."
"We need to warn family members that their children could have a similar fate to that of Sohrab's," Sanam said. "If they understand that their children could die in custody or that they may already be dead, perhaps they will pressure officials to release them or to at least provide some reliable information."
On Jul. 9, another protest marking the tenth anniversary of the attack on student dormitories in 1999 drew thousands of protesters to the streets to demonstrate their support not only for the student movement but to voice their objections to the results of the elections.
While the heavy presence of police and security forces on the streets prevented a large crowd from forming, scuffles were reported in major squares of Tehran and other cities. Security forces used batons and teargas to disperse the crowds, arresting many protesters.
According to human rights activists, the lists posted outside Evin prison place the number of those arrested on Jul. 9 at nearly 200.
Meanwhile the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has called for an independent investigation into the death of Sohrab, while raising concerns about the "lack of transparency and calculated delay in releasing the information about Aarabi's unexplained death," claiming the handling of this case by officials only raises concern about others who have disappeared in recent weeks or been held in detention with no contact with family members or lawyers.
