Ehsan Abedini was a 35-year-old shop owner and restaurant entrepreneur from Qom who participated in the nationwide protests in Tehran. Born in 1989 (1368 SH), he was known among his community as a dedicated professional before his life was cut short during the civil unrest of early 2026. On January 9, 2026, while demonstrating on Sattarkhan Street in Tehran, Ehsan was targeted by security forces. He died instantly after being shot directly in the head. His death occurred during the height of the protests known as the Lion and Sun Revolution. Witness reports from the scene describe a harrowing aftermath where Ehsan’s body remained on the pavement for several hours. Due to the heavy presence of security forces and continued gunfire, protesters and friends were prevented from approaching him or retrieving his body immediately after the shooting.

احسان عابدینی، ۳۵ ساله و اصالتاً اهل قم، از شهروندان معترضی بود که در جریان خیزش سراسری در تهران جان خود را از دست داد. او که متولد سال ۱۳۶۸ بود، در فضای حرفه‌ای به عنوان صاحب کسب‌وکار و رستوران‌دار شناخته می‌شد و برای پیوستن به اعتراضات به خیابان‌های پایتخت آمده بود. در تاریخ ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴، احسان در جریان اعتراضات در خیابان ستارخان تهران هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت. او بر اثر اصابت گلوله به سر، در همان لحظه جان باخت. گزارش‌ها حاکی از آن است که نیروهای حکومتی با شلیک مستقیم، این جوان معترض را هدف قرار دادند. پس از جان باختن او، پیکر بی‌جانش به مدت چندین ساعت در خیابان ستارخان بر روی زمین باقی ماند. به دلیل حضور گسترده نیروهای امنیتی و تداوم تیراندازی در منطقه، مأموران اجازه نزدیک شدن به پیکر او را نمی‌دادند و دوستان و سایر معترضان تا ساعت‌ها موفق به انتقال او نشدند.
