They killed her son and buried him without a name in Khavaran
This is the grave of Kourosh Keyvani — nameless, isolated, in Khavaran. Even after his execution, the state did not leave him in peace. His body was buried secretly. His mother later found the burial place and marked it with a few stones, giving him a trace of a grave.
Kourosh Keyvani, an Iranian-Swedish citizen, was arrested by security forces on June 16th 2025 while he was motorcycling and photographing nature in the Kordan area of Karaj. Without any evidence or documentation, he was accused of spying on security sites.
After his arrest, Kourosh Keyvani’s family had no information about his condition for 40 days. He was held in solitary confinement for nearly eight months and, through an unclear and non-transparent process, was sentenced to death on charges of “spying for Israel.” His sentence was carried out on March 18th 2026.
The state neither informed his family of the execution nor returned his body. Instead, he was secretly buried in an unmarked corner of Khavaran.
But the question is: why Khavaran?
A place that itself stands as a reminder of thousands of innocent political prisoners who were unjustly tried, executed, and buried without names or markers.
