40 days after the death of political prisoner Reza Hoda Saber a ceremony was held in his honor in Tehran’s renowned Behesht Zahra Cemetery. Agents of the State Security Force and anti-riot units surrounded the area in fear of the participants staging a protest.
Reza Hoda Saber died on 11 June 2011 due to a heart attack caused by a hunger strike and the Iranian regime’s delay in transferring him to a hospital.
