Their life
Abolfazl lived in Karaj and had just started out in rap, performing under the stage name "Fateh". His friends say he wrote all his own lyrics, and he had turned the built-in wardrobe in his bedroom into a small recording studio.
His songs were about his own life and what weighed on a young heart: things being hard and getting harder, a notebook full of pain, and how few people had really been there for him.
It was hard, and now it's harder than before. My notebook is full of heartache. Wherever you go, the problems never end. I was there for everyone, but few were there for me.
How the regime took them
On 9 January 2026 Abolfazl was shot by security forces on Fifteenth Street in Fardis; the bullet hit his heart. According to his aunt, the forces not only stopped people from helping him but kept beating him after he was shot, and threatened anyone who tried to take him to a hospital.
His brother found his body at a clinic near Second Fardis Square, among three bodies taken there. At the Kahrizak morgue the family were pressed to accept that he had been a Basij member killed by protesters. His father refused, and the family obtained a forensic document stating that a live bullet to the heart had killed him.
