Keyvani was executed on charges of spying for Israel’s Mossad in March.
His family was reportedly denied access to the information related to his execution and burial, which occurred on March 23.
Keyvani’s family had placed stones near the burial site to mark the unidentified grave; this identification marker was removed by the authorities to ensure that the site remains unidentified. His family was unaware of his whereabouts for 40 days.
The arrest of Kevyani occurred on June 16, 2025, in Kordan, Alborz province, west of Tehran, and near the city of Karaj. Keyvani was allegedly linked to Mossad and opposition groups based on the landscape photos, which provided evidence of the alleged linkage, leading to the confiscation of his phones by security agents. An unnamed source told the publication that the arrest occurred when he was motorcycling in Kordan.
