Amir Mohammad Karami was an eighteen-year-old from Marvdasht in Fars Province and a former member of Iran’s junior national taekwondo team. Hengaw verified that he was shot dead by government forces during protests in Marvdasht on Friday evening, 9 January 2026 (19 Dey 1404).
With his death and that of Saman Gerami (29, shot around 9:00 p.m. on his birthday the evening of 8 January and dying hours later in hospital), Hengaw reported the number of people killed in Marvdasht had risen to five, after earlier verified killings of Erfan Bozorgi, Mansour Mokhtari, and Khodadad Shirvani.
Days later, Iran International reported that taekwondo champions Farzan Ashourzadeh, Mehdi Bibak, Behzad Khodadad, and Hadi Tiran-Valipour confirmed Amir Mohammad, alongside teammate Amirhossein (Shayan) Shekari, among former junior national athletes killed by state forces in the National Revolution.
