Hossein Shirkol was a father of two primary school-aged children who lost his life during the protest movements in Isfahan. Known for his commitment to his family, his life was tragically cut short on January 8, 2026, amid the state's crackdown on demonstrators. According to witness reports, Shirkol was subjected to extreme violence by security forces. His body sustained between 100 and 150 birdshot wounds, and his nose was broken during the encounter. A final, fatal gunshot was fired directly into his heart, an act described by observers as a possible coup de grâce. He was transported to a hospital in Isfahan, where he ultimately succumbed to the severity of his injuries. His death left a family in mourning and remains a poignant example of the heavy toll paid by ordinary citizens during the period of unrest.

حسین شیرکول، پدر دو فرزند دبستانی، یکی از معترضانی بود که در جریان جنبش‌های اعتراضی در شهر اصفهان جان خود را از دست داد. او که تمام تلاشش برای آینده فرزندانش بود، در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ هدف خشونت نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت. بر اساس گزارش‌های شاهدان عینی، پیکر او نشان‌دهنده شدت خشونت اعمال‌شده بود؛ بینی او شکسته شده و حدود ۱۰۰ تا ۱۵۰ گلوله ساچمه‌ای به بدنش شلیک شده بود. علاوه بر این جراحات، یک تیر جنگی نیز به قلب او اصابت کرده بود که به عنوان «تیر خلاص» توصیف شده است. حسین شیرکول پس از این جراحات سنگین به بیمارستانی در اصفهان منتقل شد، اما بر اثر شدت آسیب‌های وارده جان باخت. یاد او به عنوان پدری فداکار که در راه آرمان‌های خود جان سپرد، در میان خانواده و معترضان زنده مانده است.
