Kolbarnews and Kurdpa report that his funeral on Saturday, 20 Dey (10 January) drew a large crowd that chanted "martyr of the path of freedom" (شهید راه آزادی). The Kurdistan Human Rights Network lists him with other Shabad dead of that evening, including dentist Dr. Sajjad Kiani, Amirhossein Naderi, Shirzad Balayi and Fardin Fuladi, and notes that many families were forced to bury outside the city cemetery. Hengaw places the burial in the village of Tajar Karam-Panahabad.
