Despite security pressures, Reza Haghighatnejad’s family is going to his grave for the fortieth day ceremony today.
Sara Haghighatnejad, the sister of Reza Haghighatnejad, a journalist who passed away in Berlin, has announced that her family, despite security pressures that previously led to the cancellation of her brother’s seventh day ceremony, will go to his grave for the fortieth day today.
Ms. Haghighatnejad wrote in a tweet that just a few hours after the location for the seventh day ceremony was determined, they contacted us and canceled the ceremony. We are going to the grave for the fortieth day, and I do not know what will happen.
In the announcement for Reza Haghighatnejad’s fortieth day, it is stated that the ceremony will be held today, Thursday, from 2 to 4 PM at his grave in section 51 of Behesht Ahmadi Cemetery.
Security agents seized Reza Haghighatnejad’s body upon its return to Iran and informed his family of his burial location a few days later.
