Hamidreza Malmir (October 26, 1998 – October 26, 2022)

Hamidreza Malmir, born in 1998, was married and lived in Malard, near Karaj, Iran. When the nationwide protests of 2022 began, he became actively involved and regularly participated in demonstrations in Karaj.
On October 26, 2022, during protests marking the fortieth day after the death of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, Hamidreza joined other demonstrators in Karaj. During the protests, he was fatally wounded after being struck in the head by gunfire and lost his life at the age of 24.
Following his death, his family reportedly faced pressure and intimidation from security authorities. According to published accounts, they were compelled to state that the cause of his death had been a traffic accident. As a result, he was laid to rest quietly, without public acknowledgment of the circumstances surrounding his death.
Those who knew Hamidreza remember him as a courageous young man who took part in the protests despite the risks involved. His family, friends, and supporters continue to honor his memory and the convictions for which he stood.
His name and memory remain alive in the hearts of those who knew him and among those who continue to remember the events of 2022.
