Pouya Derakhshan, a 17-year-old and the only child of his family, was killed by government agents on January 8, 2026. He was killed in Haft Hoz Square, Tehran, during protests referred to as the "Lion & Sun Revolution." Following his death, Pouya's family reportedly rejected substantial financial and monthly salary offers from the government. These offers were intended to have Pouya declared a "government martyr." An archived image shows Pouya sitting behind a birthday cake with lit candles, prior to his tragic death.

پویا درخشان، نوجوان ۱۷ ساله و تنها فرزند خانواده‌اش، در تاریخ ۱۸ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ توسط ماموران حکومتی کشته شد. او در میدان هفت‌حوض تهران و در جریان اعتراضاتی که به «انقلاب شیر و خورشید» معروف است، جان باخت. پس از کشته شدن پویا، خانواده‌اش گزارشاً پیشنهادهای مالی قابل توجه و حقوق ماهانه از سوی دولت را رد کردند. این پیشنهادها با هدف اعلام پویا به عنوان «شهید حکومتی» ارائه شده بود. یکی از تصاویر آرشیوی، پویا را پیش از مرگ دلخراش او، در حالی که پشت کیک تولدش با شمع‌های روشن نشسته است، نشان می‌دهد.
