Their life
Abolfazl was from Mashhad, the brother of three sisters, and in his last year of high school studying electronics. Since the age of fourteen he had worked repairing mobile phones alongside his studies. He practised taekwondo, and the people he worked with remembered his good manners.
When his family thought of sending him abroad to study, he refused: he loved his country, his sister wrote, and wanted to build a good life there. A close friend recalled him saying he wanted people to be happy, and everyone dancing with joy once they were free.
How the regime took them
On the morning of 8 October 2022 Abolfazl got out of his father's car outside school, tightened his shoelaces, and went to the protest instead. At noon, special unit police opened fire on protesters outside Ferdowsi University; he was hit by about seventy shotgun pellets in his right side and collapsed in the underpass by Mellat Park. Bystanders carried him to Imam Reza Hospital, where surgeons removed 27 pellets, but he died that day.
The police told his family he had been hit by three pellets.
