Alireza Tavakoli was a 19-year-old restaurant worker originally from Isfahan who lived in Lahijan with his mother. Born in 2005, he was known by his colleagues for his diligence. On the evening of January 8, 2026, during the Lion and Sun Revolution, he worked quickly to complete his shift so he could join the protests. Before leaving, he left a brief note for his coworkers on a window that read, "It's Ali, I'm going to Shohada Square." His journey ended less than 100 meters from the square. Alireza was killed by a direct shot to the head fired by security forces. His death left a profound void for his family and community. At his 40th-day memorial, mourners gathered to release white birds in his honor, remembering a young man who often wore a sweatshirt bearing the phrase "Impossible is Nothing." In a moving tribute, Alireza's mother referred to him as her "blue butterfly." She shared her heartbreak, noting that while he might not have liked a particular hairstyle in a photo, she could only imagine him looking that way if he had lived to become a groom. He is remembered as a son of Iran who sacrificed his life for his homeland.
علیرضا توکلی جوان ۱۹ سالهای بود که به همراه مادرش از اصفهان به لاهیجان مهاجرت کرده بود. او که متولد سال ۱۳۸۴ بود، در یک رستوران در لاهیجان کار میکرد. در غروب ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، علیرضا با اشتیاق و شتاب کارهای رستوران را به پایان رساند تا خود را به صفوف معترضان در انقلاب «شیر و خورشید» برساند. او پیش از رفتن، پیامی کوتاه بر روی شیشه برای همکارانش به جا گذاشت که نوشته بود: «علیام، میرم میدان شهدا». علیرضا پیش از آنکه به میدان برسد و در فاصلهای کمتر از ۱۰۰ متر از آن، هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای حکومتی قرار گرفت. او بر اثر اصابت گلوله به سرش جان باخت و به جرگه جاویدنامان میهن پیوست. تصویر او با لباسی که روی آن عبارت «غیرممکن هیچ است» نقش بسته بود، به نمادی از ایستادگی او تبدیل شد. در مراسم چهلمین روز درگذشت او، سوگواران با رها کردن پرندگان سفید در آسمان یادش را گرامی داشتند. مادر علیرضا در سوگ او، فرزندش را «پروانه آبی» خود خطاب کرد و با اندوهی عمیق نوشت که آرزو داشت او را در لباس دامادی ببیند. او به عنوان یکی از جانفدایان راه آزادی در لاهیجان به یاد آورده میشود.
