Ehsan Afshari was a 39-year-old Iranian-Swedish dual citizen who lost his life in Tehran during the protest movement. On January 8, 2026, he was shot twice by security forces, with bullets striking him in the abdomen and side. Following the shooting, security forces notified his family of his death the very next day. However, his body was not located until late January at the Kahrizak facility. Due to the condition of his face, his family was only able to identify him by a tattoo on his hand.

احسان افشاری، شهروند ۳۹ ساله دوتابعیتی ایرانی-سوئدی، در ۱۸ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ در جریان اعتراضات در تهران جان باخت. او هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت و بر اثر اصابت دو گلوله به ناحیه شکم و پهلو کشته شد. نیروهای امنیتی یک روز پس از این حادثه، خبر جان‌باختن احسان را به خانواده‌اش اعلام کردند. با این حال، خانواده او پس از جست‌وجوهای فراوان، در اواخر دی‌ماه موفق شدند پیکر او را در کهریزک بیابند. به دلیل وضعیت آسیب‌دیده صورتش، شناسایی او تنها از طریق تتوی روی دستش برای خانواده ممکن شد.
