Amirhossein Khodadadi’s mother, one of the victims killed in Dey 1404, in reaction to the digital crackdown against her—carried out with the aim of psychological intimidation of the bereaved—said: “A real Iranian never answers a rootless person.”

Attacking the pages of families of those seeking justice, insulting and mocking their mourning are among the government’s tools to intimidate the bereaved.

Amirhossein Khodadadi, 22, was killed on 18 Dey by shots fired by government agents in Najafabad.
