Bloody November

Kept on this phone only. Nothing is sent.

Their life

Farzad Ansarifar was born in Behbahan on 27 February 1992, the fourth child of a family that was short of money but warm, cheerful and close. He left high school in his second year to work and help support them.

He started out working beside his father, then went into business for himself in construction, specialising in tiling and mosaic work. People who knew him describe him as healthy, humble and principled. He went to the gym regularly, loved sport and loved music, and he still lived at home with his family.

How the regime took them

On 16 November 2019 clashes broke out in Behbahan, around Shiraz Square, 200 metres from his home. Farzad was tiling a job outside the town centre and came home at noon. His mother asked him not to go out, but he walked alone towards the main road to see what was happening.

He was standing near a clinic, where a few residents were watching from a distance, when he was shot from behind; the bullet entered the back of his head and came out through his left eye. His family found him in the hospital morgue that night. The forensic report recorded penetration by a sharp object.
