A teenage boy in Iran survived something that shouldn’t exist in any country in the 21st century,
He was injured during the crackdown on protests,
Not arrested,
Not treated,
Not protected,
Instead, he learned the rule of survival in a system built on fear:
If they know you’re alive, they might finish the job,
So he did the unthinkable.
He hid among the dead inside a body bag,
and stayed motionless for three days,
just to avoid a final bullet,
Not because he wanted to disappear,
but because in Iran, during these crackdowns,
even the wounded can be treated as enemies,
Even breathing can be seen as defiance
This is what the world needs to understand:
This isn’t just “riot control.”
This isn’t just “arrests.”
This is a machinery of terror where people are not only silenced,
they are erased,
When a teenager has to pretend to be a corpse
to protect his right to live,
it tells you everything about how protests are crushed in Iran:
With bullets.
With fear.
With forced silence.
And with a message to everyone watching:
Don’t just stop protesting stop existing
But he didn’t
He survived
And his survival is a witness statement
A living proof that what happens in Iran is not a political dispute
it is a human catastrophe.
