برهان الیاسی، جوان ۲۲ ساله و مغازه‌داری اهل جوانرود در استان کرمانشاه بود. او که در میان مردم محلی به واسطه شغل و منش خود شناخته می‌شد، در جریان اعتراضات سراسری سال ۱۴۰۱ جان خود را از دست داد. در تاریخ ۱۰ دی ۱۴۰۱، برهان در مراسم چهلم تعدادی از جان‌باختگان اعتراضات در زادگاهش شرکت کرده بود. در جریان این مراسم، او هدف شلیک نیروهای حکومتی قرار گرفت و جان باخت. کشته شدن او موجی از اندوه را در شهر جوانرود به همراه داشت. پس از این واقعه، کودکان و ساکنان شهر با حضور در مقابل مغازه بسته او، با نثار گل‌های رز و چسباندن دست‌نوشته‌هایی بر درب مغازه‌اش، یاد او را گرامی داشتند و محل کار او را به نمادی از ایستادگی و مظلومیت او بدل کردند.
