Saeed Alimardani

Saeed Alimardani (Persian: سعید علیمردانی) was a 19-year-old from Shahroud in Semnan Province. According to Witness Report, he was killed just two days after his 19th birthday, and he was one of the first people killed in the Shahroud protests.

On the evening of Thursday 18 Dey 1404 (8 January 2026), at around 8:30 pm, he called his mother and told her he was on his way home, but he never arrived. His family searched for him until midnight without finding him, and his body was found on the morning of 9 January. Witness Report says he had been shot, with pellet wounds to his head causing severe bleeding. He was first taken to Bahar Hospital but was not admitted, and he died before reaching Imam Hossein Hospital. People close to the family said he might have survived if he had been admitted sooner.

His body was handed over on 24 Dey (14 January) at Khatam Hospital near the Shahroud cemetery, under heavy threats and on the condition that he be buried quietly and without any slogans. Iran International's Javidnaman memorial also records his killing in Shahroud on 18 Dey 1404.
