Three Days Among the Corpses; The Shocking Account of Rescuing a Protester from Kahrizak

Exclusive: According to a narrative received by the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, a family spent three entire days searching for their son, who had left home to protest and did not return during the nationwide demonstrations. In anxiety and uncertainty, the family first searched hospitals, then went to Behesht Zahra, and ultimately their search led them to Kahrizak; a place where shocking images of the numerous corpses of protesters killed during the demonstrations circulated on social media and in the media.

In Kahrizak, the family was forced to search among a multitude of corpses for their child; a place where hope and terror were intertwined. Finally, despite all their fears, they found their son alive. He had been severely injured by a bullet and, according to this account, had remained motionless for three whole days without food or water, terrified of being shot in the head by the authorities, hidden inside a plastic cover designated for the deceased.

According to this report, the family eventually succeeded in transferring him to a hospital for treatment.

This narrative, while bitter, illustrates a rare moment of survival amidst death and simultaneously provides a shocking image of the conditions surrounding the suppression of protests, the treatment of the injured, and the pressures faced by families seeking access to medical care; families who have become lost between hospitals, morgues, and security centers in search of their loved ones.

It is worth mentioning that due to the severe internet shutdown and restrictions in Iran, independently verifying this account is not possible.
