  2. References

{{Orphan|date=June 2018}}Grave Dwellers, is a term about a particular form of homelessness in Iran, in which unstable or poor people are intending to get rid of the cold, so they sleep inside the graves not in use yet, rather than cardboard boxes in public areas. This phenomenon was first noted in 2016 with the report of Shahrvand Newspaper, mentioning about 50 grave dwellers in the cemetery of Nasirabad Shahriar, Tehran, and caused many reactions in the social networks and among the social celebrities.[1][2][3]

Some sources, after the publication of the report about the grave dwellers in Nasirabad, reported that the cemetery was cleared by beating and pounding them out of there.[4]

In a letter to President Rouhani, the Oscar-winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi expressed "shame" and "regret" about the condition of those "men, women, and children who spend their cold nights in a graveyard."[5]

Shahrvand Newspaper’s report

The Shahrvand Newspaper in December 2017 reported about the grave and cardboard box sleepers whom are sleeping in the graves. Fifty cardboard box sleepers were located around and inside Nasirabad's largest cemetery in Baghestan on the outskirts of Shahriyar, occupying at least 20 graves. According to the report, there is one person living in each grave and sometimes reaches up to three - four people.[6]

These graves are commonly used for sleeping, and they are empty during the day. But, when the people collect or beg for food and money, they have to be careful about their graves because they might be stolen by other cardboard box sleepers. Even without showing any mercies to each other’s clothes and blankets.
