Abolfazl Bajoul

Abolfazl Bajoul was a 16-year-old tenth-grade student from Vilashahr, near Najafabad in Isfahan Province. He had turned 16 only 12 days before he was killed. Alongside his studies he worked, and with the money he saved he bought himself a motorcycle and a mobile phone. He loved riding his motorcycle, which he had named "Snow White" (Sefid Barfi), and he dreamed of one day becoming well known. His family and friends remember him as a brave, hardworking and kind boy.

On the evening of Friday 19 Dey 1404 (9 January 2026), during the nationwide protests, he was shot directly in the head in Vilashahr and killed by Islamic Republic forces, according to BBC Persian and Witness Report. A source close to the family told BBC Persian that as the streets grew crowded he took shelter beside the wall of a green space to stay safe, but a bullet struck his head. He was taken to hospital, but it was too late. He was reported to be the only person killed in that area that night. According to the same source, his body was identified a week later at Bagh-e Rezvan cemetery in Isfahan. The Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Associations listed him among the children killed in the crackdown.
