For a long time, he had stepped away from official stages.And no one asked why Pouya Faragardi,and hundreds like him,stopped showing up to concert halls and rehearsal rooms.He was killed by government security forces on January 8. #iranmassacre

He was wounded.
He escaped the hospital so he wouldn’t fall into the hands of security forces.

They found him anyway.
They arrested him.
Then, in an alley outside his mother’s home, they shot him in the head, from behind.
Saeed GolSorkhi died in his mother’s arms.

She said, “Dad, I’m burning, I’m burning.”
Her father kissed the mole near her lip, and kissed it, and kissed it, and kissed it. Negin Ghadimi wanted to share her voice in protest with Iranians. She died in her father’s arms. #iranmassacre
