Why Families Are Losing Patience
1. Lack of Accountability
One of the main reasons families grow impatient is the absence of clear accountability. Governments often provide vague explanations or shift blame.
- Victims are sometimes labeled as militants without evidence
- Investigations are delayed or never completed
- Officials avoid direct engagement with grieving families
This creates a sense of injustice and deepens emotional wounds.
2. Political Exploitation of Funerals
Funerals are increasingly politicized. Governments may use them to promote narratives, while restricting alternative voices.
In some cases:
- Officials attend funerals for publicity but avoid responsibility
- State media shapes the narrative around victims
- Families are pressured to remain silent
Reports from Iran indicate that authorities have even coerced families into making false statements about their deceased relatives.
