Their life

Saleh was from Isfahan and worked as a karate and fitness coach. He had married only three months before his arrest.

Friends and family describe an incredibly kind and caring man who lived a quiet life and minded his own affairs. Beyond that, little about his life has been published; most of what is on record about him comes from the months he spent in prison.

How the regime took them

Executed for the 2022 protests. Saleh was arrested on 18 November 2022 and tried in the "Isfahan House" case over the deaths of two Basij members and a police officer, accused among other things of firing a handgun. In an audio message he said interrogators broke his teeth, and when that failed, told him they were making his wife and his cousin confess; he then said he would admit to whatever they wanted. He was sentenced to death for "moharebeh".

He was hanged at dawn on 19 May 2023 in Isfahan, together with Majid Kazemi and Saeed Yaghoubi.
