Who was Abolfazl Adinezadeh? Teenage Protester
Abolfazl Adinezadeh: A young protester was killed by police.
According to sources cited by BBC Persian, in the city of Mashhad, Iranian security forces shot a teenager dead at point-blank range. On October 8, 17-year-old Abolfazl Adinezadeh skipped class to participate in anti-government demonstrations, but he never came back. The government has not responded. However, according to his death certificate, which the BBC was able to get, he passed away due to liver and renal disease brought on by birdshot. A doctor was quoted in the sources as indicating that it was fired from less than 1 m (3 ft) away.“What offense had he committed that you shot 24 birdshot into his stomach?” At his funeral, Abolfazl’s father begged for information since, according to the sources, when he took part in the protests, his parents were originally unaware of what had happened to him.
The education ministry didn’t call until the following day to ask them to bring him up from the neighborhood police station.
But when they arrived, they were informed that he had passed away.
According to the individuals that spoke to the BBC, Abolfazl’s father received a warning at the police station: “You shut your mouth and do not talk to media.”
According to the sources, the family was under pressure to admit that their son was a part of the Basij, an infamous paramilitary group that has a history of participating in the bloody suppression of rallies.
Authorities claim that the “rioters” who killed Basij members and other security personnel during the recent turmoil were supported by Iran’s foreign adversaries.
According to the sources, plainclothes security guards were also present at Abolfazl’s funeral, silencing grievers who wanted to vent their rage. They said that a female spy took Abolfazl’s aunt’s picture and hid it beneath her veil.
Some mourners were also stopped after the funeral and requested to erase the footage from their phones.
