Kept on this phone only. Nothing is sent.

Their life

Mohammad was born in 2000 or 2001 and lived in Parand, south-west of Tehran, where he worked as a barber. He lived with bipolar disorder, and had been exempted from military service on medical grounds. Little else about his life has been published.

How the regime took them

Executed for the 2022 protests. Mohammad was arrested on 22 September 2022 in Parand, after the car he was driving struck police officers on motorcycles deployed against the protests; one officer died. He was denied his medication for the first two months and a lawyer for the first month. A Revolutionary Court sentenced him to death for "corruption on earth", and a criminal court ordered retribution; his lawyer said the Supreme Court had overturned that ruling.

He was hanged in Ghezel Hesar prison in Karaj on 23 January 2024, the ninth person executed over the protests.

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.
