"Still, Minab" is the single most heart-wrenching and yet life-affirming work I have ever done in my life. In this fieldwork ethnography of the Minab massacre, I conducted in-depth interviews with 35 people, including 8 families, volunteer workers in town, and local eyewitnesses. The existing accounts of Minab in both English and Farsi language media, while valuable, remain incomplete. This mini‑series was born from a responsibility to affirm the victims’ own voices: their lives, testimonies, and interpretations as undeniable sources of knowledge about this atrocity. It is also a commitment to them. This commitment also makes this work freely available and accessible to all. You are welcome (and encouraged) to share and use it widely. Here is the first episode of the ethnography of Minab—the massacre and its aftermath. Parastesh Zaeri, 11, survived the US-Zionist attack on her school. But she does not know that her brother, Ali Asghar, 9, who came upstairs after the first explosion to look for her, did not survive. This is Parastesh's account of what happened that day. The life of Ali Asghar. What was taken from us. And our promise and dedication to carry him forward. "Still, Minab" honors the people of the south, holding its pain and dignity together, as a testament to the best of humanity. /special thanks to @Jedaal & @bikrumsinghgill Watch the first episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=RYd8eP… #StillMinab #MinabSchool
