Farzin Balali was a 24-year-old mobile shop worker whose life was cut short during the protest movements in Tehran. Known for his hard work and solitary nature, he became a symbol of the heavy price paid by ordinary citizens seeking change. On January 8, 2026, Farzin was killed by Islamic Republic security forces in the Haft-Hoz neighborhood of Tehran. His death added another name to the growing list of those fallen in the struggle for freedom. Farzin’s story is marked by a profound sense of solitude, as he was an orphan without immediate family. After his death, his friends poignantly remarked that he had no relatives to perform his funeral rites or dance at his grave in celebration of his life. He is now honored as a "Javidnam" (Eternal Name) within the Iranian protest movement.
فرزین بلالی، جوان ۲۴ سالهای که در یک مغازه موبایلفروشی مشغول به کار بود، در جریان جنبشهای اعتراضی در تهران جان خود را از دست داد. او که زندگی ساده و مستقلی داشت، به نمادی از بهای سنگینی تبدیل شد که شهروندان برای آزادی میپردازند. در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، فرزین در محله هفتحوض تهران به دست نیروهای امنیتی جمهوری اسلامی کشته شد. جان باختن او در این محله، نام او را در کنار دیگر جانباختگان راه آزادی ثبت کرد. آنچه داستان زندگی فرزین را غمانگیزتر میکند، تنهایی اوست؛ او یتیم بود و هیچ خانواده نزدیکی نداشت. پس از مرگش، دوستان او با اندوهی عمیق اشاره کردند که او کسی را نداشت تا برایش مراسم سوگواری برگزار کند یا بر مزارش به یادش برقصد. نام او اکنون به عنوان یک «جاویدنام» در حافظه جمعی ایران ماندگار شده است.
