Narrative

Mohammad Javad Zahedi was an 18-year-old resident of Sari who was killed by direct gunfire from security forces during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" nationwide protests in 2022. He is memorialized as a "Javidnam" (immortal) of the uprising, a young life cut short during the height of the movement in his hometown. Following his death, his mother, Mahsa Yazdani, emerged as a prominent figure within the justice-seeking movement. For her advocacy and refusal to remain silent about her son's killing, she was sentenced by the Sari Revolutionary Court to 13 years in prison (with five years enforceable). Her resolve became a symbol of the "mothers for justice" who continued to demand accountability despite heavy judicial pressure. After serving time, including a period under electronic monitoring and house arrest, Mahsa Yazdani was released in early April 2024. Upon her release, she immediately visited her son’s grave, reaffirming her commitment to his memory and standing in solidarity with other mothers of those killed during the 2022 uprising.

محمدجواد زاهدی، جوان ۱۸ ساله‌ای اهل ساری بود که در جریان اعتراضات سراسری «زن، زندگی، آزادی» در سال ۱۴۰۱ با شلیک مستقیم نیروهای سرکوبگر جان باخت. او به عنوان یکی از «جاویدنامان» این خیزش شناخته می‌شود که جان خود را در راه آرمان‌هایش در زادگاهش فدا کرد. پس از جان باختن او، مادرش مهسا یزدانی به یکی از چهره‌های نمادین جنبش دادخواهی تبدیل شد. او به دلیل دادخواهی برای فرزندش و پافشاری بر مجازات عاملان قتل او، توسط دادگاه انقلاب ساری به ۱۳ سال حبس (که ۵ سال آن قابل اجرا بود) محکوم شد. ایستادگی او در برابر این فشارها، وی را به یکی از چهره‌های برجسته مادران دادخواه بدل ساخت. مهسا یزدانی پس از تحمل دوران حبس، که بخشی از آن را با پابند الکترونیکی سپری کرده بود، در فروردین ماه ۱۴۰۳ آزاد شد. او بلافاصله پس از آزادی بر مزار فرزندش حضور یافت و بار دیگر بر عهد خود برای زنده نگه داشتن یاد محمدجواد و همبستگی با دیگر خانواده‌های جان‌باختگان راه آزادی تأکید کرد.
