NCRI – Students at the Iran University of Science and Technology in Tehran this week held a ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the martyrdom of Kianoush Asa, a student who was killed by the mullahs\u2019 regime in the course of the 2009 uprising.<\/p>\n
According to reports from Iran, on the seventh anniversary of the martyrdom of Kianoush Asa, a graduate at the University of Science and Technology, his family and the students of this university on May 30 gathered in Asa Park, which is named in memory of Kianoush, and revived his memory by lighting candles and distributing flowers and brochures. They reiterated that they would continue his path.<\/p>\n
Born in March 20, 1985, Kianoush Asa was shot and wounded after the regime\u2019s paramilitary Basij forces opened fire on people during the uprising and demonstration in Azadi Square in Tehran on June 15, 2009. He was transferred to a hospital in Tehran but criminal agents of the mullahs\u2019 regime kidnapped him and several others who were wounded in the uprising and transferred them to an unknown location. On June 24, 2009, the authorities informed Kianoush\u2019s family that their son had died.<\/p>\n
Following the regime\u2019s sham election in 2009, Iranian people staged a nationwide uprising against the mullahs’ regime, lasting more than eight months, during which several people including youths like Kianoush Asa and Neda Agha Soltan were killed either on the streets or in prison. Thousands of others were arrested.<\/p>\n
Some protesters including Amir Javadi Far and Mohammad Kamrani were killed under torture by the regime\u2019s henchmen in the prisons and some others including Mohammad Ali Haj Aghaii and Jafar Kazemi, both activists of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), were executed by the mullahs\u2019 regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
