Farshid Moradi (Persian: فرشید مرادی), also recorded as Farshid Moradi Katoulaei (کتولائی), was a 28-year-old Lor electrical engineer and resident of Fooladshahr in Isfahan Province. The government's published list of the dead gives his father's name as Ali Mardan. Friends remembered his smile and his wish for a better life in Iran.
On Thursday, 18 Dey 1404 (8 January 2026), he joined the call to protest and walked with others toward the Fooladshahr courthouse. Hengaw Organization for Human Rights verified that government forces shot him dead that day; sources told Hengaw a sniper on a rooftop struck the back of his head. His family had no news of him for seven days; his body was returned on 25 Dey 1404 (15 January 2026) and buried in Fooladshahr. HRANA's "Crimson Winter" register lists Farshid Moradi Katoulaei as a confirmed victim in Fooladshahr, and Iran International's Javidnaman memorial records him as 28 on 18 Dey.
