Their life

Komar was sixteen and lived in Piranshahr, in West Azerbaijan province. His birthday fell on 16 August, and his family kept marking it after his death, even when the IRGC's intelligence arm detained his father to stop them. Little else about his life has been published.

How the regime took them

Around 8 pm near Owraz Square in Piranshahr, security forces stopped and fired birdshot at Komar from about three metres; a witness told Hengaw there was no protest at that spot. Agents took him away in a car with private plates, and hospital records seen by BBC Persian say they blocked medics from giving first aid. He reached hospital with no vital signs and was declared dead after 34 minutes of CPR.

The Boroumand Center and BBC Persian date his death to 30 October 2022; Hengaw says he was shot the evening before.
