This is the funeral of a young protester who was killed by Islamic Regime last week.
Traditionally in Iran, funerals are marked by sorrow: sad music, Islamic sermons, and recitations from the Quran.
But here, something completely different is happening.
The music being played is the kind normally heard at weddings. People are clapping. They are dancing. At a funeral!
This is not celebration, it is protest.
By rejecting religious rituals and replacing them with wedding music, people are sending a clear and defiant message:
how deeply they despise this so-called “religious” government, how strongly they oppose the regime and its imposed ideology.
There is hardly any way more difficult, more profound, or more unmistakable to express opposition to this regime, and yet, the people of Iran continue down this path.
They do not retreat.
They do not back down.
