Protestors led by artist Mediseh Bathaei tie themselves to the Urban Light installation at LACMA, protesting the Islamic Republic's violence paying respect to the citizens murdered, marking 40 days since the death of Khodanoor Lejei, and the massacre of protestors at a Zahedan police station.

Abstract

A poem shared by Mediseh Bathaei, dedicated to Khodanour Lejei's mother and the people of Balochestan:

برای سنوبر 
و تمام مادران بی پسر
به یاد خدانور
و بلوچستان دور
برای دختران امروز
و فردای پر سرور

And in English (Translated using google:)

For Senobar,
And all the mothers without sons
In memory of Khodanoor
and distant Baluchistan
For today's girls
And a happy tomorrow

Senobar — Khodanoor's Mother. She lost her son on Bloody Friday of Zahedan.
Khodanoor — A Sunni / Baloch citizen who lost his life on Bloody Friday of Zahedan, on September 30, 2022.
