Narrative

Hadi Forough was a 43-year-old basketball player who was killed during the protest movement in Tehran. On January 8, 2026, shortly after celebrating his 43rd birthday, he was shot in the heart by security forces in the Aryashahr neighborhood. Hadi is survived by his three-year-old son, Avash. A heartbreaking video of Avash seeing his father’s image on television and joyfully calling out to him, unaware that he had been killed, was widely shared on social media and became a poignant reminder of the human cost of the violence.

هادی فروغ، بسکتبالیست ۴۳ ساله، یکی از جان‌باختگان راه آزادی است که در ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ در محله آریاشهر تهران جان باخت. او که متولد دی ۱۳۶۱ بود، تنها مدت کوتاهی پس از جشن تولد ۴۳ سالگی‌اش بر اثر شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی به قلبش کشته شد. از این جاویدنام پسری سه ساله به نام آوش به یادگار مانده است. ویدیوی منتشر شده از آوش که با دیدن تصویر پدرش در تلویزیون، بی‌خبر از فاجعه، با خوشحالی فریاد می‌زد «باباییه»، بازتاب وسیعی در فضای مجازی داشت و به نمادی از مظلومیت خانواده‌های معترضان تبدیل شد.
