From the creator of the video:

This is a compilation of all the available videos (6) as well as some still photos and captions that tell the tragic story of 19 year old Sohrab Aarabi. It attempts to cover the circumstances following his disappearance on June 15th 2009 while protesting the fraudulent election results in Iran, and then his eventual funeral (07/13/09).

It is a gut wrenching video, I warn you. Not graphic, just devastating.
