The freedom fighters at Ashraf-3 include 1,000 men and women, who have suffered torture in prisons under Shah’s dictatorship or the clerical regime.

Amol City Security Council prevented the Nowruz memorial ceremony for Ghazaleh Chelabi.

They visited the graves of these brave souls to honor their memories, pay their respects, and recommit themselves to the path of freedom these protesters had embarked upon.
However, the families of the martyrs and their communities were met with hostility from security forces, who not only threatened and pressured them into silence but also prevented them from holding commemoration ceremonies for their loved ones.
