Mojtaba Ghanati Khalari, a student from Shiraz, was arrested on December 30, 2022, for writing slogans during protests. His family reported that he died the same day while under torture in custody in Shiraz. His lifeless body was later found abandoned in a desert, and news of his death was conveyed to his family on January 4, 2023. Authorities denied responsibility, claiming "poisoning" or a "heart attack," and reportedly pressured his family to accept this official narrative. Mojtaba was remembered by his sister as a calm, polite, and intelligent individual. Having lost their parents previously, his sister had dedicated herself to his care, often ensuring he had the larger share of food. His death is commemorated as a state-sponsored killing. His siblings actively seek justice, lighting candles at his grave and the site of his death, and participating in memorial ceremonies, including the second anniversary of his passing.

مجتبی قناعتی خلاری، دانشجوی اهل شیراز، در ۹ دی ۱۴۰۱ به اتهام شعارنویسی در جریان اعتراضات بازداشت شد. خانواده‌اش گزارش دادند که او همان روز در بازداشتگاه و تحت شکنجه در شیراز جان باخت. پیکر بی‌جان او بعدها در بیابانی رها شده پیدا شد و خبر درگذشت او در ۱۴ دی ۱۴۰۱ به خانواده‌اش داده شد. مقامات مسئولیت این مرگ را انکار کرده و علت آن را «مسمومیت» یا «سکته قلبی» اعلام کردند و بنا به گزارش‌ها، خانواده‌اش را برای پذیرش این روایت رسمی تحت فشار قرار دادند. مجتبی توسط خواهرش فردی آرام، متین و بسیار باهوش توصیف شده است. او و خواهرش پس از فوت والدین‌شان، در کودکی مجتبی را تحت مراقبت خود گرفته و همیشه از او مراقبت می‌کردند. مرگ او به عنوان قتلی حکومتی گرامی داشته می‌شود. خواهر و برادرش فعالانه در پی دادخواهی هستند و در محل دفن و محل جان باختن او شمع روشن کرده و در مراسم‌های یادبود، از جمله دومین سالگرد درگذشت او، شرکت می‌کنند.
