Mehdi Sepehran was a 24-year-old man who lost his life during the events of the Lion and Sun Revolution in early 2026. On January 8, 2026, he was shot by security forces in the Aryashahr district of Tehran. While he initially survived the shooting and was transported to a hospital, reports indicate he was executed there with a coup de grâce shot. The circumstances of his death were particularly harrowing for his family. Due to severe facial disfigurement caused by the violence, his identification was delayed until his father recognized him by a tattoo on his leg. Following his death, his body was returned to his maternal city of Tabriz, where he was laid to rest.

مهدی سپهران، جوان ۲۴ ساله‌ای بود که در ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، در جریان خیزش سراسری موسوم به انقلاب شیر و خورشید، در محله آریاشهر تهران هدف شلیک مستقیم ماموران امنیتی قرار گرفت. بر اساس گزارش‌های موجود، او در حالی که هنوز زنده بود به بیمارستان منتقل شد، اما در آنجا با شلیک تیر خلاص به قتل رسید. پیکر مهدی به دلیل آسیب‌های شدید وارده به صورت، به راحتی قابل شناسایی نبود. در نهایت، پدرش موفق شد او را از طریق تتوی روی پایش شناسایی کند. این جاویدنام در نهایت در شهر مادری‌اش، تبریز، به خاک سپرده شد تا نامش به عنوان یکی از جان‌باختگان راه آزادی ثبت شود.
