Arya ‌Bahadori

Their story

Arya Bahaderi was a third-grade elementary school student at Rahpouyan Shohadaye Khalij-e Fars School in Minab, around 9 years old. He lived with his parents and his younger brother, Arsalan. His father was a school teacher.

He loved football and admired Cristiano Ronaldo more than any other player. Arya also loved visiting his grandparents in the village, and the day before the incident, he hurried through his homework to get permission to go there.

After the attack, his family rushed to the scene in distress. His father searched through the crowd, hoping to find him alive.

The search continued until night. Eventually, Arya’s uncle identified him by his school uniform and shoes. His body was intact, with no signs of burns. Arya was buried in the village he loved.
