Iranian protests

Mohammad Hassan was born on November 22, 1989, in Fereydan, Isfahan. He was killed on January 9, 2026, in the Al-e Mohammad district of Isfahan, and was later buried in Isfahan Cemetery.

“My son was more innocent and pure than anything else,” his mother told the Post. “He worked as a mechanic; his hands were always covered in cuts and blackened with engine oil.”

Mohammad Jamalian, a 23-year-old award-winning athlete, was tortured and killed based on false testimony and was kept from his family, even in death.

Mohammadi joined the protests as "his greatest dream was the freedom of Iran; that the people of his country could live the way they deserved," his sister told the Post.

Between 35,000 and 40,000 protesters were killed in Iran’s January 8–9 massacre. Among them was Adel Matlabnejad, a 38-year-old from Ahvaz.

“In general, Ermia cared more about the suffering of others and his fellow human beings than about himself,” his mother told The Jerusalem Post.

Six months after Iran’s January massacre, Taha Naderi’s family says the 18-year-old was shot by security forces, died after repeated surgeries, and was denied a public funeral.

“If we don't go into the streets for Iran’s freedom today, one day our children will have to do it instead. Today it is our lives, so that they may have a better future," he told his wife in January.

“Mani was a very warm-hearted and humorous young man who loved the cause of freedom above all else,” his mother told The Jerusalem Post. “In the end, he even gave his life for that freedom.”
