Mehdi Eskandarian was a 44-year-old father of two children, aged 16 and 7, residing in Fardis, Karaj. On the night of January 9, 2026, he was shot in the head by security forces during the revolutionary protests. Eyewitness reports and archive records indicate that he was targeted while selflessly attempting to assist other wounded protesters on the scene. The gunshot wound resulted in a year-long medical struggle. Eskandarian remained hospitalized due to the severity of his injuries until he eventually passed away on January 12, 2027, at Noor Hospital in Shahriar. Throughout his hospitalization and following his death, his family faced significant harassment and pressure from security agencies, who attempted to coerce them into falsely identifying him as a member of the government forces. During the initial period after he was shot, his family was subjected to further distress as authorities claimed he was missing, forcing them to search for him among the deceased at Kahrizak and Behesht Zahra. Mehdi Eskandarian is remembered by his loved ones as a patriotic father whose final act was one of bravery and compassion toward his fellow citizens.

مهدی اسکندریان، پدر ۴۴ ساله‌ای اهل فردیس کرج و دارای دو فرزند ۱۶ و ۷ ساله بود که در جریان خیزش انقلابی دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ جان خود را فدا کرد. در شامگاه ۱۹ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴، او در حالی که برای یاری رساندن به معترضان مجروح شتافته بود، هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت و از ناحیه سر به شدت مجروح شد. او پس از تحمل یک سال رنج ناشی از این جراحت عمیق، سرانجام در تاریخ ۲۲ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۵ در بیمارستان نور شهریار جان سپرد. در طول دوران بستری و پس از جان باختن او، خانواده اسکندریان تحت فشارهای شدید نهادهای امنیتی قرار داشتند. ماموران تلاش می‌کردند تا با اعمال فشار، خانواده را وادار کنند که او را به دروغ به عنوان یکی از نیروهای حکومتی معرفی کنند. گزارش‌های موجود حاکی از آن است که در روزهای نخست پس از واقعه، مقامات با پنهان‌کاری خانواده را برای یافتن پیکر او به سردخانه‌های کهریزک و بهشت‌زهرا فرستاده بودند. مهدی اسکندریان به عنوان پدری میهن‌پرست و فداکار در یادها مانده است؛ انسانی که در حساس‌ترین لحظات، کمک به هم‌نوعان خود را بر سلامت خویش مقدم شمرد.
