Bloody November

Kept on this phone only. Nothing is sent.

Their life

Amirreza Abdollahi was 13. His family lived in Eslamshahr, south-west of Tehran, and came from Parsabad in Moghan, where he was born and where he was buried. The sources say little more about his life.

How the regime took them

Amirreza was shot dead on 16 November 2019 during the protests in Eslamshahr; Amnesty International's report places it in Shahriar County. In an interview aired on state TV his father said the boy had only gone out to buy something and was caught up in the protests. After three days of searching, the family got his body back on 19 November.

The authorities blamed armed rioters and sent Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, to visit the family on camera. Amnesty International found no footage of anyone but the security forces firing on unarmed people.
