Younes Asakereh, a 32-year-old street vender and father of two
children has died today earlier morning
subsequent to setting himself on fire on March 13,2015 after numerous
attacks by the Iranian repressive regime's security forces who prevented
him from earning a living.
According
to Ahwazi activist to send Younis Asakreh to Tehran for treatment, the
Iranian airline had demands 50 million Rials (about 2000 Dollar) from
his family.
Asakreh’s
family due to severe economic situation and the inability to pay for
the plane were forced to transfer Younis who suffered from 90% burns by
ambulance to Tehran. Distance between Ahwaz capital and Tehran is about
900 KM and the Iranian ambulances are not up-to-date to take care of the
patient completely where this time and distance has worsen the patient
health.
Younis
Asakreh family has stated that they have not received any help from
anybody and Younis moved to Tehran by car ambulance rather than plane
due to the inability of families to pay.
