Iran Uprising – No. 162
In the afternoon of Tuesday, May 22, funeral ceremonies for three of the martyrs of the Kazerun uprising, Omid Reza Yousefian, Ali Mohammadian Azad and Hadi (Mehdi) Jahantab, were held with the participation of a large crowd of people in the city. These martyrs were buried in Behesht Zahra cemetery and another cemetery known as Seyyed Mohammad in Kazerun.
While intelligence, police, and plainclothes agents were trying to prevent anti-government slogans, participants from all over Kazerun expressed their anger and hatred of the mullahs’ regime by chanting slogans: ‘Oh, my martyred brother, we’ll continue your path’; ‘My imprisoned brother must be freed’; ‘Oh, my martyred brother, I shall avenge you’; ‘Death to the Dictator’; and ‘You the Governor, shame on you, your hands are stained with the blood of our martyrs’.
Mehdi (Hadi) Jahantab was arrested on May 17th, and there was no information about his whereabouts. Following protests by the people who demanded the delivery of the bodies of the martyrs and the release of the arrested, the regime’s agents handed over his body to his family on May 21.
