The 'Justice Seekers of Iran' account on the social media platform X announced on Monday, March 11, that government agents have stolen the body of Abol Korkor and transferred it to an unknown location. This account, which identifies itself as 'an independent entity consisting of the families of victims of the Islamic Republic regime since 1979,' stated in this post that after Abol Korkor's 'heroic resistance' against 'the mercenaries of the Islamic Republic' and ending his own life, the government has stolen the body of this fighter and is refusing to provide the corpse or any information about its location to the Korkor family. The 'Justice Seekers of Iran' account also emphasized that the 'innocent' Korkor family is under severe pressure from security agencies and government officials. This entity described the concealment or non-delivery of the deceased's body to the family and the failure to specify the burial location as instances of 'enforced disappearance' and added: 'Enforced disappearance is a violation of Article 6 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,' which the Islamic Republic has repeatedly engaged in. Abol Korkor, a protester from Izeh, ended his life on Saturday, March 9, after being besieged by Islamic Republic agents during a live Instagram broadcast. He had been living in hiding for two years as a participant in the 2021 protests. The suicide of the Izeh protester coincided with the siege by the Islamic Republic's security forces.
