| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image shall showcase Mohsen Hojaji during his last moments, as he stoically looks at the camera and accepts death. The picture has become extremely iconic in Iran, and Mohsen Hojaji achieved the status of a nationally acclaimed "martyr" due to it. Many have likened Mohsen Hojaji's death to the end of Imam Husayn ibn Ali who was similarly beheaded. As the image itself is the main reason Hojaji has become well known and received extensive attention in Iran, its gravity can not be conveyed by text alone. |
