Armin Sayadi

Armin Sayadi (Persian: آرمین صیادی), son of Abdollah, was a teenager from Kermanshah Province. Kermanshah Voice places his birth in Khordad 1384 (spring 2005) in the village of Qaleh-Zanjir in the Gahvareh district of Dalahu County, and says he worked in farming and livestock to help support his family. Amnesty International and Kermanshah Voice give his age as 17; Hengaw, Hana, the Iran Human Rights Society and Persian and English Wikipedia give 18.

According to Kermanshah Voice, on Wednesday 20 Mehr 1401 (12 October 2022) he travelled with friends from the village to Kermanshah to have a tractor pump repaired. That evening, during the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising, protesters blocked streets across the city, and he joined the crowd in Shahrak-e Mahdieh (Dareh Darizh). As darkness fell, the security forces' assault intensified. Armin and his companions were trying to leave when their car was surrounded, and the forces fired several rounds into it. He was hit by live ammunition in the chest and side; Persian Wikipedia also lists the arm. Kermanshah Voice says the forces kept his friends from approaching the car for 30 minutes and that he died inside it. Hengaw attributes the shooting in Dareh Darizh to IRGC forces. Kurdpa, citing an informed source, reported that he and Sina Naderi were killed instantly by combat rounds that evening.

Accounts of his burial differ: Persian Wikipedia gives Dareh Darizh cemetery in Kermanshah, while Kermanshah Voice says his body was handed to the family and buried under the supervision of the security agencies in his birthplace.

Amnesty International's 2026 report on victims of crimes against humanity during the uprising lists him with a photograph, killed in Kermanshah on 12 October 2022. Hengaw's list of Kurdish citizens killed in the uprising (no. 35), Hana's memorial, the Iran Human Rights Society's list of 662 names (no. 107) and its consolidated list, the NCRI's Persian list of 185 names (no. 273) and list of 647 names (no. 283), Persian Wikipedia's article and table, the English Wikipedia list and Kurdpa and Kurdistan Human Rights Network reporting all record his killing.
