Rasoul Yazdani, a 42-year-old architectural engineer and artist, was killed on January 8, 2026. Originally from Arak, he resided in Shahrak-e Andisheh, Fardis, Karaj. He was shot at very close range by plainclothes security forces with a pistol, reportedly without the sound of a shot being heard. His body was found in Kahrizak four days after his death. Friends referred to Rasoul Yazdani as the "architect of freedom," a moniker that stemmed from his consistent parting words, "In the hope of freedom," rather than a simple goodbye. He also held the belief that change does not come from silence.

رسول یزدانی، مهندس معمار و هنرمند ۴۲ ساله، در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ کشته شد. او اهل اراک و ساکن شهرک اندیشه فردیس کرج بود. وی با شلیک از فاصله بسیار نزدیک توسط نیروهای لباس شخصی جمهوری اسلامی و بدون شنیده شدن صدای تیر به قتل رسید. پیکر او پس از چهار روز جستجو در کهریزک یافت شد. دوستانش او را «معمار آزادی» می‌نامیدند، زیرا همیشه به جای خداحافظی می‌گفت: «به امید آزادی.» او همچنین معتقد بود که تغییر از سکوت به دست نمی‌آید.
