Mehdi Karimi was a 30-year-old man from Gatvand, Khuzestan, who was killed by security forces during the revolutionary uprising. He was fatally targeted at approximately 10:30 PM while fleeing from government agents. Following his death, authorities initially withheld his body and later enforced extreme security measures for his interment. Mehdi was buried at 5:00 AM with only five people permitted to attend the ceremony. Despite his father being a retired member of the IRGC, the family refused to cooperate with government narratives. Authorities offered to officially designate Mehdi as a "martyr" if the family agreed to blame "saboteurs" for his death, but his father rejected the offer, refusing to compromise the truth regarding his son's killing.

مهدی کریمی، جوانی ۳۰ ساله و اهل شهرستان گتوند در استان خوزستان، در جریان خیزش انقلابی به‌دست نیروهای امنیتی کشته شد. او حوالی ساعت ۲۲:۳۰ و در حالی که حین اعتراضات از دست نیروهای حکومتی می‌گریخت، هدف قرار گرفت و جان باخت. پیکر او ابتدا به خانواده تحویل داده نشد و سرانجام تحت تدابیر شدید امنیتی، در ساعت ۵ صبح به خاک سپرده شد. در مراسم تدفین او تنها به پنج نفر از نزدیکانش اجازه حضور داده شد. با وجود اینکه پدر مهدی از بازنشستگان سپاه پاسداران بود، خانواده کریمی در برابر فشارهای حکومتی ایستادگی کردند. مقامات به آن‌ها پیشنهاد دادند که در صورت مقصر دانستن «خرابکاران» در کشته شدن مهدی، او را «شهید» اعلام کنند؛ اما پدر او این شرط را نپذیرفت و حاضر نشد حقیقت نحوه کشته شدن فرزندش را پنهان کند.
