Mohammad Mehdi Karami was a 21-year-old karate athlete who was executed by the Islamic Republic on January 7, 2023. A dedicated sportsman, Karami was known for his passion for martial arts and was often documented training in the gym. His life was cut short following his arrest in Karaj during the nationwide "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests that followed the death of Mahsa Amini. Karami was arrested in connection with demonstrations during the 40th-day memorial of Hadis Najafi. In a fast-tracked judicial process, he was accused of involvement in the death of a Basij member and sentenced to death. He was executed alongside Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, an event that led to widespread mourning and the appearance of memorial posters and tributes across various Iranian cities, including Kermanshah. Following his execution, his father, Mashallah Karami, became a prominent figure in the movement for justice. He sought to honor his son’s memory through charitable acts, such as preparing food packages for street children inscribed with the names of fallen protesters. Due to his persistent advocacy and efforts to keep his son’s memory alive, Mashallah Karami was himself arrested and imprisoned in Karaj Central Prison.

محمدمهدی کرمی، ورزشکار ۲۱ ساله‌ای در رشته کاراته بود که در تاریخ ۱۷ دی ۱۴۰۱، در پی اعتراضات سراسری «زن، زندگی، آزادی»، توسط جمهوری اسلامی اعدام شد. او که به عنوان یک ورزشکار پرامید شناخته می‌شد، پیش از بازداشت بخش زیادی از وقت خود را به تمرین در باشگاه‌های ورزشی و پیگیری حرفه‌ای ورزش کاراته اختصاص داده بود. محمدمهدی در جریان مراسم چهلم حدیث نجفی در کرج بازداشت شد. او در یک فرایند قضایی شتاب‌زده به اتهام مشارکت در مرگ یک نیروی بسیجی به مرگ محکوم شد و حکم اعدام او به همراه سیدمحمد حسینی به اجرا درآمد. اعدام این دو جوان موجی از سوگواری و اعتراض را در شهرهای مختلف، از جمله کرمانشاه، به دنبال داشت و تصاویر آن‌ها به عنوان نمادهای مقاومت در اماکن عمومی نصب شد. پس از اعدام محمدمهدی، پدرش ماشاالله کرمی، با دادخواهی و انجام فعالیت‌های نمادین، یاد فرزندش را زنده نگه داشت. او با تهیه «نذری» و بسته‌های غذایی برای کودکان کار به نام فرزندش و دیگر جان‌باختگان، یاد آن‌ها را گرامی می‌داشت. ماشاالله کرمی سرانجام به دلیل همین تلاش‌ها برای دادخواهی بازداشت و در زندان مرکزی کرج زندانی شد.
