An unmarked burial site inside Tehran’s Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery, photographed in 2011. According to the families of victims and numerous human rights reports, this area is believed to contain the mass graves of political prisoners executed during the mass executions of the 1980s in Iran. No names, headstones, or official markers identify those buried beneath this ground.
For decades, the site has remained under close security surveillance. Families have repeatedly reported being prevented from mourning freely, placing memorials, or identifying the exact burial locations of their loved ones. Any unofficial markers left at the site have reportedly been removed or destroyed.
This photograph was taken under significant security restrictions while documenting cemeteries and burial culture in Iran. It forms part of the documentary photo essay Grave Business in Iran by Farhad Rajabali.
