Mohsen Rashidi
Christian citizen shot by security forces with a military bullet while attempting to help his wounded friend Shahram Maghsoudlou during a protest in Baharestan Isfahan. After being shot in the thigh and bleeding severely, security forces stationed at the hospital prevented him and his companions from entering the emergency room and accessing medical services, causing him to die from severe blood loss. His family searched for him for five consecutive days without knowing his fate. Authorities offered to return his body only if the family signed a form falsely claiming he was a Basij member killed by protesters, which the family refused. His body was eventually returned after payment of one billion tomans. He had a 4-year-old daughter and two teenage stepdaughters.
