Their life
Abdollah Qavimi was born in Shiraz on 25 March 1973 and lived in the village of Qalat, about 35 kilometres north-west of the city. He grew up in a family of six, was married, and was the father of two children, aged 16 and 4 when he was killed. He was self-employed and worked in a real estate agency.
People who knew him describe a responsible, sociable man in high spirits who loved his family. He loved nature and mountain climbing, and he spent his free time filming and taking photographs.
How the regime took them
On the afternoon of 16 November 2019 Abdollah and his brother drove to Sadra to collect their children from school. Protesters had gathered at the town's Basij base, and after a helicopter arrived, forces on the roof began shooting people in the head, face and chest.
With the road blocked, the brothers got out of their car and both were shot. Abdollah was hit in the chest or the face by a military bullet; his brother spent months in hospital. His death was registered on 17 November, and at 2 am his body was taken to Qalat under the watch of security forces.
