Arya Alidoust (also recorded as Aria / Ali Alidoust Gharibabadi) was a young man from Lahijan in Gilan Province, remembered by neighbours as working in real estate and construction, full of energy for ordinary life. Memorial write-ups give his age as 23; Iran International’s Javidnaman listing records 26.
On the evening of Thursday, 8 January 2026 (18 Dey 1404), as Lahijan rose in protest, he joined the crowd and was shot by security forces. Social posts and Hyrcani human-rights media described motorcycle units firing live rounds; a fortieth (chehelom) for him and Parvaneh Khojandi Rad was later held in Lahijan, where mourners chanted against the supreme leader.
He is remembered as one of the young people of Lahijan, the green tea-growing city of Gilan, lost that night.
