Their life

Little about the life of Mojahed Kourkouri, also known as Abbas, has been published by the sources this memorial relies on.

What is on record is how the regime used him: as the man it blamed for the killing of nine-year-old Kian Pirfalak and other people in Izeh in November 2022, during the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising. Kian's own family has always said the car they were in was shot at by the security forces.

How the regime took them

He was arrested the month after the Izeh shooting in an armed raid in which, rights groups said, he was shot in the knee. He was held in enforced disappearance, tortured, and made to give 'confessions' that were broadcast on state television. In April 2023 the judiciary announced that a Revolutionary Court in Ahvaz had sentenced him to death for 'enmity against God', 'corruption on earth' and 'armed rebellion' after what Amnesty International called a sham trial. Kian Pirfalak's parents did not identify him as the killer and filed no complaint against him. He was executed on 11 June 2025.

The Fallen

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.
