Omid Norouzi was a 35-year-old resident of Rasht who lost his life during the national protest movement. On January 8, 2026, he was killed on Namjoo Street in Rasht after being shot directly in the head by security forces. He is remembered by his community as a patriot who stood for the cause of freedom. In a final testament left behind, Omid expressed a premonition of his death and a deep belief that the dawn of freedom was near. He selflessly asked that if he did not survive to see that day, others should celebrate and be happy in his place. His sacrifice has made him a lasting symbol of the movement in his hometown.

امید نوروزی، جوان ۳۵ ساله و میهن‌پرست اهل رشت، در جریان اعتراضات مردمی جان خود را در راه آزادی فدا کرد. در شامگاه ۱۸ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴، او در خیابان نامجوی رشت بر اثر شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی به سر جان باخت. امید در آخرین وصیت خود، با باوری عمیق به نزدیک بودن طلوع آزادی، از هم‌وطنانش خواسته بود که در صورت نبودن او، به جایش شادی کنند. او که آرزوهای یک ملت را در سینه داشت، اکنون به عنوان یکی از جاویدنامان راه میهن در یادها باقی مانده است.
