Abolfazl Saedi
When Abolfazl was still an infant, his mother divorced his father because he did not take responsibility for the family. She worked cleaning other people's homes and, through great hardship, raised him on her own. He had one sister, Andisheh. He was inspired by the ideals of Cyrus the Great. On 18 and 19 Dey, he took part in the protests. During his arrest and detention, he was tortured. His back and pelvis were fractured, yet he never agreed to identify anyone or submit to pressure. Whenever we visited him, he behaved as though nothing had happened. While others lowered their heads before the prosecutor and the judge, Abolfazl stood firm and refused to bow. In front of his mother, the judge repeatedly said, "This proud man should be executed."
