Farez Aghamohammadi

Farez Aghamohammadi (Persian: فارص آقامحمدی; also written Fares or Farez, and known as Mohsen), son of Hashem, was an unmarried Kurdish man from Malekshahi County in Ilam Province.

On Saturday, 13 Dey 1404 (3 January 2026), Revolutionary Guards forces stationed at the Basij base in Malekshahi opened fire on protesters with Kalashnikov rifles. Farez was shot in the head. He was taken to the intensive care unit of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, where he lay with a very low level of consciousness. His brother, Mostafa Aghamohammadi, was also wounded and was reported to be in critical condition.

After three days in intensive care, Farez died of his wounds on the evening of Monday, 15 Dey 1404 (5 January 2026). His death notice carried the words "For what sin?" and he was buried on Tuesday, 16 Dey. Reza Azimzadeh and Mehdi Emamipour were also killed in the Malekshahi shooting, and more than thirty people were wounded.

Hengaw Organization for Human Rights first reported him among those killed in Malekshahi on 13 Dey. The Kurdistan Human Rights Network and Kurdpa then documented his death in hospital two days later, and Iran Pedia keeps a memorial page for him.
