Saman Hemati, a protester from Abdanan, was hit by a shotgun pellet in his right eye from a distance of about 20 meters during the uprising for the revolutionary, life, and freedom on November 18th, 2022.

After being wounded in Imam Ali Square by the repressive forces, he was transferred to Dezful Hospital for medical treatment and then sent to Tehran for further examination.

This protester is currently undergoing a seven-month treatment period and will need further surgery on his right eye.

Saman Hemati is the son of Fathollah and Nashmieh, born on December 28th, 2000, in Abdanan.
