Sina Haghshenas was upset about the cost of running his flower shop in the northern Iranian city of Gorgan. So he joined a protest on January 8 sparked by the economic crisis the country was facing. It was there that security forces fatally shot him, say Haghshenas's friends, who held a memorial for him, singing and chanting "with honor."
