The incident has shocked the city, with a small rally to remember Mr Moradi taking place on the banks of the Rhone on Tuesday. Mourners placed candles and wreaths on the riverside railings. “Mohammad Moradi killed himself to make the voice of revolution heard in Iran. Our voice is not carried by western media,” said Timothee Amini of the local Iranian community. “His heart was beating for Iran; he could no longer bear the regime.”
