HRANA News Agency – Part 41 of Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery is among the most famous burial places where a large number of critics and opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially the executed prisoners, have been buried. This place has been subjected to destruction and disrespect throughout the years after the revolution. Recently some news of the possibility of further destruction of this part has been published in the media.

According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), you would not see any explanations about the people buried in the graves. Perhaps the most eloquent explanation is the “Broken Tombstones” of part 41.

Most of the gravestones are completely crushed and it’s hard to read their writings. Some survivors have put the bouquet of flowers, some chocolate or fruit for charity on the same stones.

This part is deliberately kept dry unlike the abacus and green parts of Behesht-e-Zahra, its rubbish is not collected and cleaned, its graves are mostly without signs or with crushed stones and even those who refer to these parts to visit the graves of their loved ones had experienced a hefty security environment.
