Amirhossam Khodayari Fard

Born in 2004, shot in the head by a plainclothes security agent while participating in peaceful protest. The group of protesters had spent hours peacefully demonstrating and chanting against the government. The crowd moved towards Imam Square, where a statue of Ruhollah Khomeini is located. Stones were thrown at the statue. Basij, police officers and plainclothes security officers started firing their weapons. According to IranWire, locals alleged that Ebrahim Aharoun, a retired IRGC member in plainclothes during the protest, was the person who shot Khodayarifard. After the shooting, Khodayarifard was transferred to medical facilities in Khorramabad, where he died several hours later. Government officials falsely claimed he was a Basij member and pressured his family to state this, but the family refused.
