From Land of Rising Sun: A look at life of Saba Babaei (Koniko Yamamura)

Imagine Tehran’s Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery. It is a vast plain with many trees in every corner that are casting their shadows on the graves. There’s a section in this cemetery that is different from the rest of it. Therein lies the graves of those who did not wait for death to greet them. Rather, they chose to meet death. They took their lives in the palm of their hand and sacrificed it for a great cause.
