Ali Mohammadi

Ali Mohammadi (Persian: علی محمدی) was a man from Izeh in Khuzestan Province who was killed during the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising.

On the evening of 25 Aban 1401 (16 November 2022), the second day of three days of nationwide strikes and protests, people were in the streets of Izeh when shooting broke out in the market area and elsewhere in the city. Among the dead were the child Kian Pirfalak and other residents of Izeh. The authorities called it a terrorist attack by gunmen, while families and witnesses cited by opposition and human rights sources held the security forces responsible. The Iran Human Rights Society's list of 662 people killed in the 1401 protests records him as no. 295: “Ali Mohammadi, from Izeh, shot by security agents, 25 Aban”, and its later consolidated Khuzestan list records the same. The NCRI's Persian list of 185 names (no. 450), its English cumulative lists (for example no. 449 in its Thirteen More list) and Persian Wikipedia's table of the 1401 dead (no. 488) give Izeh and 25 Aban 1401. German Wikipedia also lists him among the dead of Izeh.

The first reports by the state news agency ISNA that evening, carried by other outlets including VOA Persian, named an Ali Mohammadi, aged 60, among the wounded taken to hospital in Ahvaz, together with Ali Mowlaei, 23, who later died. BBC Persian reported that the official death toll later rose to seven. The available sources do not say whether the wounded man named in those reports is the Ali Mohammadi recorded in the lists of the dead. The Mojahedin pictorial list carries a portrait card for him dated 25 Aban. He is a different person from Ali Mohammadi of Mehrshahr, Karaj, who was killed in Dey 1404 and has a separate memorial.
