This is a compilation of all the available videos (6) as well as some still photos and captions that tell the tragic story of 19 year old Sohrab Aarabi. It attempts to cover the circumstances following his disappearance on June 15th 2009 while protesting the fraudulent election results in Iran, and then his eventual funeral.

It is a gut wrenching video, I warn you. Not graphic, just devastating.

"Monday's funeral was held amid a heavy presence of plainclothes security officials. Fahimi was not allowed to address the crowd at length and only provided a few words, explaining that no further memorial ceremonies would be held for her son.

In the Shiite tradition, memorial services are held on the third, seventh and fortieth day after death. A family friend present at the funeral, who spoke on condition of anonymity, believes that the family had been pressured to forgo the usual memorial services. "

The information in this video was obtained from the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, based on interviews with the Aarabi family. And from translations provided by Farsi speakers
