Hojatollah Motaghi was a 57-year-old resident of Tehran who was killed by security forces of the Islamic Republic on January 8, 2026. His death occurred during the period of national protests known as the Lion and Sun Revolution, where he was targeted by state agents. Initially unrecognized in broader media coverage, Mr. Motaghi was later documented in victim registries as number 2954 among those who lost their lives. He was laid to rest in Section 337 of Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery in Tehran, where his gravestone remains a testament to his life and his sacrifice during the movement.

حجت‌الله متقی، مردی ۵۷ ساله و ساکن تهران بود که در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ (۸ ژانویه ۲۰۲۶) در جریان اعتراضات جنبش «شیر و خورشید» توسط مأموران امنیتی جمهوری اسلامی کشته شد. آقای متقی که در ابتدا در فضای رسانه‌ای ناشناخته مانده بود، بعدها با شماره ۲۹۵۴ در فهرست‌های مربوط به جان‌باختگان راه آزادی ثبت و شناسایی شد. پیکر او در قطعه ۳۳۷ بهشت‌زهرای تهران به خاک سپرده شده است؛ مزار او نشانه‌ای از ایستادگی مردی است که نامش در میان جان‌سپاران این خیزش ملی به ثبت رسید.
