Pouya Ahmadpour Pasikhani (Persian: پویا احمدپور پسیخانی), also recorded as Pouya (Ali) Ahmadpour Pasikhani, was a seventeen-year-old boy from Rasht in Gilan Province, one of the children killed in the first week of the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising.
During the protests in Rasht he was struck with batons by security forces and badly injured. He fell into a coma and died of his injuries on 1 Mehr 1401 (23 September 2022). Amnesty International's 2026 report on victims of crimes against humanity during the uprising lists POUYA AHMADPOUR PASIKHANI, age 17, and dates the fatal incident in Rasht to 22 September 2022. RFE/RL's verified list of the dead records Pouya (Ali) Ahmadpour Pasikhani, 17, under 23 September, and Persian Wikipedia's 1401 killed table, the Iran Human Rights Society's 662-name list, Tribune Zamaneh's list of 266 victims, and the Mojahedin list of 675 names all give the same account of baton blows, coma, and death on 1 Mehr.
His given name also appears as Ali in some victim lists.
