When protests broke out across Iran in September, 26-year-old Mohammed Hassan Torkaman's message was one of defiance.
The nature-loving student was shot dead by security forces during a demonstration just two days later - protests had broken out over the death of a young woman in police custody who was arrested for wearing her hijab"incorrectly".
Mohammed Hassan had moved to Babol five years ago to study at university. So on 21 September, his family in Shahin Shahr, Isfahan, didn't know he had gone out to protest. His brother says that when he went to see Mohammad Hassan's body in the morgue, he saw a bullet wound in his head. "It's ironic that the regime is so strong with its state violence as a repressive regime but is scared of the dead bodies it creates," she told Sky News.
Since 2002, the centre has run the Omid Memorial project which is a digital archive of all of those who have been killed by the state and acts as an online memorial. Many of these accounts are run by bereaved family members. Three months after Mohammad Hassan's death, two of his relatives set up Twitter pages that post on a daily basis, almost exclusively about Mohammad Hassan. They now have a combined following of over 27,000.This digital image of Mohammed Hassan has been shared on pages dedicated to his memory and across social media
