When information is scattered, incomplete or deliberately suppressed, memory becomes fragile. In many cases, especially during internet shutdowns or periods of political pressure, the names and stories of victims are shared only briefly across social media, often without enough detail to preserve them properly.

ShahedSang، written in Persian as #شاهدسنگ، was created to help confront this silence.

The word can be understood as “WitnessStone”. It reflects a simple but powerful idea: gravestones are not only places of burial. They are witnesses. They carry names, dates, places and traces of lives that must not be erased.

Through the dedicated ShahedSang page, Witness Report collects and organises publicly available information from social media posts that use the #شاهدسنگ hashtag. These records may include names, birth and death dates, burial locations, gravestone photos, source links and other details that help preserve historical truth.
