Brutal Iranian rulers monetize death, while Israel stands for life, justice, and human dignity..
After slaughtering thousands during nationwide protests, authorities in Iran are now demanding large cash payments from grieving parents to retrieve the bodies of their murdered children—an act revealing the regime’s complete moral bankruptcy.
Parents of protesters killed in demonstrations across Tehran told BBC Persian that officials sent messages demanding exorbitant sums before releasing bodies held in hospitals. One family from Rasht said authorities demanded 700 million tomans to return their son’s body, stored alongside dozens of others under guard.
Another family in Tehran, whose Kurdish son was murdered during protests, reported officials demanded 1 billion tomans—an impossible sum. Unable to pay, the parents were forced to leave their child behind. Hospitals, parents said, are flooded with security forces ensuring bodies are withheld unless ransom-like payments are made. Some administrators quietly warned families to arrive quickly “before security forces come.”
This grotesque extortion underscores the nature of Iran’s rulers: a regime that profits from murder and terrorizes families even in mourning. In stark contrast, Israel and its allies fight to protect life, return hostages, and uphold human dignity—values utterly absent in Tehran’s halls of power.
