Alireza Moghaddam was a 21-year-old university student and mathematics prodigy who was killed during protests in Tehran. Known as an elite academic achiever, he was recognized for his exceptional talents in mathematics and physics. On January 8, 2026, he was present on Piroozi Street when he was targeted by security forces. His death involved a particularly brutal sequence of events: after being initially wounded by gunfire, security forces reportedly shot him again at close range. This second attack caused severe spinal cord injuries and catastrophic hemorrhaging. Despite being taken for medical treatment, he died in the operating room due to the severity of his wounds. Following his death, authorities placed significant restrictions on his funeral, releasing his body to his family only after considerable difficulty. He was buried in Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery, with the government permitting only immediate family members to attend the ceremony. Alireza is remembered as a brilliant young man who chose the pursuit of freedom for his fellow citizens over his own promising academic future.

علیرضا مقدم، دانشجوی ۲۱ ساله و از استعدادهای درخشان و نخبه در رشته ریاضی و فیزیک بود که جان خود را در راه آرمان‌هایش فدا کرد. او در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ در جریان اعتراضات در خیابان پیروزی تهران هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت. گزارش‌ها حاکی از آن است که علیرضا پس از زخمی شدن در شلیک اولیه، بار دیگر از فاصله نزدیک هدف گلوله قرار گرفت. این اقدام منجر به آسیب شدید نخاعی و خون‌ریزی گسترده شد و او علیرغم انتقال به بیمارستان، در اتاق عمل جان باخت. همراهان و نزدیکانش او را جوانی توصیف کرده‌اند که آزادی مردم و میهن را بر آینده علمی درخشان خود مقدم می‌دانست. پیکر این جاویدنام با دشواری‌های فراوان توسط نهادهای امنیتی به خانواده تحویل داده شد و مراسم خاک‌سپاری او در آرامستان بهشت‌زهرا تحت تدابیر شدید امنیتی و تنها با حضور اعضای درجه یک خانواده برگزار گردید.
