Yadollah Heydari

Yadollah Heydari (Persian: یدالله حیدری) was a 49-year-old man from Abdolabad who lived in Chamestan, in Noor County, Mazandaran Province, and the father of two daughters. IranWire reported that he owned a real-estate office in Chamestan; other memorial accounts describe him as a shopkeeper. Some early lists, including Iran International's Javidnaman memorial, recorded his age as 40, while IranWire, Iran International and Independent Persian later reported him as 49.

On the evening of Friday, 19 Dey 1404 (9 January 2026), he was killed when security and Basij forces opened fire during the protests in Chamestan. Hengaw verified that he was shot directly by government forces; his relatives told Independent Persian that he was shot in the heart, and Iran International reported a bullet to the head. HRANA lists him among its confirmed victims in Chamestan. People close to him told IranWire: "No one imagined that such a shooting could happen in a neighbourhood this small." He was killed in the same crackdown as Seyed Abolfazl Kia and Ali Asghar Mohammadi Chamestan.

He had asked that if he did not come back, no Quran should be placed at any ceremony held for him and that "Ey Iran" should be sung for him instead. His family and relatives later gathered at his grave and sang "Ey Iran" together. His daughter shared a video of everyday moments with her father and wrote: "Your absence never became normal, Dad."
