YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWARNING: This report contains images of body bags in a morgue, which viewers may find distressing.
Abolfazl Yaghmouri was a kid from a working class neighbourhood near Tehran - his world is a place where rap is banned, so he pursued his dream in a homemade studio.
The 17-year-old was killed at the protests on 8 January - the night the regime opened fire on its own people.
Abolfazl's aunt, Gita Yaghmouri, explains how he died and says the family began to look for him in the early hours.
"They were trying to hit him with anything they had in their hands - with boots, with the butt of their gun - with everything, while he was bleeding for 40 minutes and he was gasping for life and then he passed away".
Abolfazl has left behind a music legacy online.
