Tehran; Alireza Rezaei, 20-year-old Kurdish youth from Harsin, identified as another victim of January 9 Killed by a live bullet

February 10, 2026; “Alireza Rezaei,” a 20-year-old Kurdish youth originally from “Harsin,” Kermanshah, has been identified as one of the victims of the popular protests on January 9, 2026, in the “Shahriyar” district of Tehran. He lost his life due to the direct firing of live ammunition by the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic.

Alireza had recently celebrated his engagement. He was raised solely by his mother, who had endured many hardships to bring him up. His body was located five days after his death. The government attempted to pressure his family into declaring him a member of the “state-affiliated Basij,” but his mother courageously rejected this claim.
