Araz Salimian was a 26-year-old law student and a resident of Chalus, Mazandaran. As the only child in his family, he carried the responsibility of being their sole breadwinner. He is remembered by those who knew him as a dedicated patriot and a seeker of justice who translated his legal studies into a presence on the streets during the national movement for freedom. On January 8, 2026 (18 Dey 1404), Araz was killed in his hometown of Chalus after being shot in the throat by government security forces during public protests. His death in the city’s streets marked the end of a young life devoted to the principles of equity and national rights. Since his death, Araz has been honored as a "son of Iran" and a "javidnam" (immortal name). He is celebrated as a martyr who sacrificed his life for his country, with his voice remaining a symbol of the struggle for justice in the history of his community.
