Incident summary
On Dey 18, he took part in the protests in Mahdasht, Karaj. It is said that he helped women and children during the demonstrations. After being struck by live ammunition, he managed, with the help of someone else, to make his way back to his family. The last image forever remembered is the smile that remained on his face. His family immediately took him to the hospital, where, after four days of surgeries, intensive treatment, and care in the ICU, he ultimately gave his precious life for the land of Iran and its people. Those who knew him believe that he fulfilled the mission he had carried within him for many years. The day before, while with his wife's family, he placed his hand on his chest and said, “I have to go. People like me have to go so that my daughters, our children, can one day experience the taste of a good life, even if we are no longer here.”
Memorial narrative
He used to say, “I have to go so that my blood may be shed, so my children can have a better future.” In the end, he gave his blood for the future of his children and his country.
