Abdul Reza Sudbakhsh

I was killed on 30 September 2009. I was fifty-seven years old, born on January 26, 1328, from Bandar Anzali and living in Tehran. I spent my childhood and school in Bandar Anzali, I got my diploma in 1346, and in the same year, I was admitted to Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the field of medicine. I went to Kermanshah to pass the plan and got married and settled there. The result of this marriage was three sons and one daughter. I was an associate professor and a member of the faculty of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, the head of the infectious disease department and a doctor specializing in infectious diseases at Khomeini Hospital in Tehran, and an expert in forensic courts and an expert in the country's medical system, these were just some of my positions during my service. I loved my job and worked from seven in the morning to eleven at night and helped people as much as I could. In the events of July 2008, some protestors were taken to Kehrizak Detention Center and some of them were killed under severe torture. As a doctor specializing in infectious diseases, I had examined them. I was constantly worried and disturbed by the crimes that I had witnessed, the security forces under the supervision of Saeed Mortazavi asked me to say in the report that I am writing about the condition of the political prisoners who were killed there that they died of meningitis, while I announced that they were under The torture was gone, of course, I was the second doctor who opened my eyes to the case of Kehrizak, previously this happened to Dr. #Ramin_Pourandarjani as the doctor on duty of Kehrizak Aina, and Saeed Mortazavi, the prosecutor of Tehran, put pressure on him to The reason for the death of a number of detainees was attributed to fatal conditions such as inappropriate location, poor sanitation, inadequate heat and lack of air conditioners, and as a result, beatings and indifference of the officers to the condition of the prisoners and terrible tortures, as death. As a result of meningitis, he was killed by Koneh and Ramin, who had a lot of evidence of Kehrizak's crimes, when he did not go under the load at his workplace. I was under a lot of security pressure and I was talking about this with my eldest son Behrang and my youngest son Damon who lived in America and I told them about the sexual abuse and torture of Kahrizek. At the age of 18, he was raped so much that he died. I decided to leave that space for a while and travel to America to see Damon. Damon asked me to stay for more than a month, but I told him no, now the situation is such that they are looking for an excuse and I can't stay even a day longer, I thought my phone was under control. Damon said I will follow the situation and I know, I said "No!" you do not know!" And I repeated this sentence several times because I knew something, Damon said ok, we will talk more when you come. I bought a ticket for Wednesday, September 31 at five in the morning, and I was waiting for Damon in Washington to meet again.

It was Tuesday 30th of Shahrivar 2009, around 9:00 PM, I left my office on Keshavarz Blvd facing Laleh Hospital and I wanted to get into my car, 2 motorcyclists and a taxi guarding there blocked the way for me and while I was riding I was going to my car, before opening the door, a taxi was parallel to my car at a very short distance, so that it closed the escape route for me, at the same time, two motorbikes with four passengers, two in the front and two in the back, shot at me. The front engine shot hit my car door, but the rear engine shot hit my side and I was killed. Their gun had a silencer. Less than 10 minutes after I was shot, a large number of officers arrived at the scene and filmed all the scenes, but later they never informed my family about the footage and did not even allow them access to my documents and belongings, not even the ring. My marriage, my office was sealed. After numerous follow-ups and complaints from my family, no clue was found in this case. All the evidence that was there showed that this assassination was planned and that there were people who could safely wait around my office without a mask, and they even knew that I was leaving the next day. I was in America. They were worried that I might take the information about Kahrizak abroad with me, and the purposeful killing was actually to prevent me from interviewing anyone outside of Iran. From the very beginning, they tried to justify the murder and said that the murder happened with a personal motive, but the matter was denied by the hospital doctors and university professors, and there was no evidence that I had a problem with anyone that led to the murder with a personal motive. The cameras were never checked and they said that the electricity was cut off! The cameras of the pharmacy near my office were recorded by the security forces and no explanation was ever given about its contents.

Even eyewitnesses took pictures of the assailant's face, but the Ministry of Intelligence did not pay any attention to them. The latest news about my assassination was that the case was declared closed!! Anyone who tried to do something in different ways had a problem with my murder case, for example, the person who said he saw the assailant, it was not clear what happened to him.

My body was handed over to my family on the third of Mehr 89 and I was buried amid security measures and in the presence of my family.


From that day until today, the death knell sings only one song, "Terror" and that is in the motherland....in the homeland....by the hands of the countrymen, but for what sin???? 💔< /p>
