Arshia Narj Abadi

Arshia, the same 18-year-old athlete full of energy who was the first smile of his home, and Ali, the hardworking student whose father carried him to the hospital with his own hands, hoping he might survive... but it seemed the sky had room for both of them.

Losing a child is unbearable, but losing two friends who withered away together brings pain to the heart of an entire city. We will not forget your dreams. We will not forget that, for “justice” and “freedom,” you gave your youth.

May your names be honored, and may your friendship be eternal.
