Mohammad Hossein Erfan was a young protester whose life was irrevocably changed during the November 2019 protests in the Fardis district of Karaj. While participating in the demonstrations, he was shot by government forces, resulting in the loss of vision in both eyes. This severe injury and the permanent disability that followed marked the beginning of a long struggle with the physical consequences of state violence. Despite the trauma of his injuries and the loss of his sight, Mohammad Hossein remained committed to the movement for change. Reports indicate that he courageously participated in the 2022 uprising as well. However, the lingering physical complications and illnesses resulting from his initial injuries eventually overwhelmed his health. Mohammad Hossein Erfan passed away in a hospital on February 19, 2024. His death is mourned as a testament to the enduring physical and emotional toll inflicted upon those who stood on the front lines of Iran’s protest movements. He is remembered by his community as a "martyr for freedom" who continued to stand tall despite the immense sacrifices he had already made.

محمدحسین عرفان از آسیب‌دیدگان اعتراضات آبان ۱۳۹۸ در منطقه فردیس کرج بود که در جریان این اعتراضات بر اثر شلیک مستقیم نیروهای حکومتی، بینایی هر دو چشم خود را از دست داد. این آسیب شدید و معلولیت ناشی از آن، زندگی او را برای همیشه دستخوش تغییر کرد و آغازگر سال‌ها رنج جسمی ناشی از خشونت دولتی شد. با وجود جراحات عمیق و نابینایی، محمدحسین همچنان به آرمان‌های خود وفادار ماند و گزارش‌ها حاکی از آن است که او در قیام سال ۱۴۰۱ نیز شجاعانه شرکت کرد. با این حال، عوارض جسمی و بیماری‌های ناشی از جراحات اولیه در طول زمان تشدید شد و سلامت او را به شدت تحت تأثیر قرار داد. سرانجام محمدحسین عرفان در تاریخ ۳۰ بهمن ۱۴۰۲، پس از تحمل سال‌ها پیامدهای جراحات وارده، در بیمارستان جان باخت. یاد او به عنوان نمادی از هزینه‌های سنگینی که معترضان در ایران پرداخته‌اند، گرامی داشته می‌شود؛ مردی که تا آخرین روزهای زندگی خود، علی‌رغم آسیب‌های جسمی، در کنار جنبش آزادی‌خواهی ایستاد.
