On Sunday, January 10, Milad Bahadori's body was laid to rest in Behesht-e Zahra, Tehran. Milad was self-employed. He had lost his father years prior, and his mother had raised him and his brother alone. He was described as a 'healthy, humble, and diligent' young man. He maintained strong friendships. In his last conversation with his friends, Milad had stated: 'We are not trying to do anything; we just want to walk. Why should they kill us?'
