Bloody November

Kept on this phone only. Nothing is sent.

Their life

Navid Behboudi was 23. His family lived in Shahr-e Qods, also called Qaleh Hassan Khan, west of Tehran, but he worked in Isfahan, where he sold books and worked as a model. That November he had come home for a wedding. The sources say little more about his life.

How the regime took them

On the afternoon of 17 November 2019 Navid went out to the protests in Shahr-e Qods. When his father phoned at 4 pm to call him home for lunch, he refused. A couple of hours later, on Emarat Street, a plainclothes agent firing from a rooftop shot him in the back of the head.

His family found his body at the Kahrizak forensic centre. Security forces released it only on condition that he be buried far from home, in the village of Mahvizan in Gilan, and that no ceremony be held in Qods.

The Fallen

All discussions, from every page

A name I missed, a memory of someone on this wall, or a correction, with a public source. Never from inside Iran, and never a living relative’s name. Readers' words, not mine.
