Mohammad Saleh Zarif Moghadam was a 28-year-old athlete who was killed on January 8, 2026, in Tehran. He was shot by security forces on Sattarkhan Street near Aryashahr. Reports indicate that he was first shot from a distance in the side and chest, and subsequently shot at close range in the head and face. Mohammad Saleh was the sole provider for his family, supporting both his mother and his four-year-old child. His death left a young child without a father and a family without its primary breadwinner. Following his killing, authorities withheld his body for three days. His remains were only released to his family after his mother was forced to sign a formal pledge of silence, promising not to publicize the circumstances of his death or allow slogans to be chanted during his memorial.
