Al-Ansar is closely aligned with the “Martyrs Foundation” in Iran that has assisted some 3,996 shahids (5,000 USD per family) and 200 detainees (1,000 USD per detainee). Al-Ansar Charity Association has paid monthly salaries to families of 1,940 shahids ranging from 75 USD for a shahid’s son to 250 USD for a shahid who had been married.
