Sajjad Valamanesh was a 20-year-old construction worker and a member of the Bakhtiari Lur community from the Zilayi tribe. Born on May 28, 2005, he was identified as a pro-monarchy protester during the demonstrations in Lordegan. On January 1, 2026, Sajjad was killed by government forces during protests in his hometown of Lordegan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. He died after being shot while participating in the movement. Following his death, his family faced significant pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). They were reportedly forced to participate in a televised interview as a condition for retrieving his body. Despite attempts by authorities to imply state ties, sources close to the family emphasized that he had no affiliation with the Basij or any government organizations. Sajjad was laid to rest on January 2, 2026.

سجاد والامنش، ۲۰ ساله و کارگر ساختمانی، از لرهای بختیاری و طایفه زیلایی بود. او که متولد ۷ خرداد ۱۳۸۴ بود، در جریان اعتراضات به عنوان جوانی پادشاهی‌خواه توصیف شده است. در تاریخ ۱۱ دی ۱۴۰۴، سجاد در جریان اعتراضات مردمی در شهر لردگان، واقع در استان چهارمحال و بختیاری، با شلیک نیروهای حکومتی جان باخت. او در حالی که در تجمعات اعتراضی شرکت کرده بود، هدف گلوله قرار گرفت و کشته شد. پس از جان‌باختن او، خانواده والامنش تحت فشار و تهدید سپاه پاسداران قرار گرفتند تا برای تحویل گرفتن پیکر فرزندشان، به انجام یک مصاحبه اجباری تلویزیونی تن دهند. با وجود این فشارها، نزدیکان او تأکید کردند که سجاد هیچ‌گونه وابستگی به بسیج یا دیگر نهادهای حکومتی نداشت. پیکر او در تاریخ ۱۲ دی ۱۴۰۴ به خاک سپرده شد.
