Saleh Mohammadi was a 19-year-old world-class freestyle wrestling champion and gold medalist. Known as a "son of Iran," he was a celebrated athlete who often competed wearing the national colors. His career was cut short when he was arrested during the nationwide protests in January 2026, part of the "Lion and Sun" revolution. Following his arrest, Saleh was subjected to a legal process that lacked sufficient evidence and relied on forced confessions. On March 19, 2026, he was executed by the state in Qom alongside fellow protesters Mehdi Ghasemi and Saeed Davoudi. Saleh's memory was honored by mourners who gathered for a memorial service characterized by music and clapping rather than traditional mourning. He is remembered as a "Javidnam" (immortal) who sacrificed his life for his country, leaving behind a legacy as both a sports champion and a symbol of the protest movement.

صالح محمدی، قهرمان ۱۹ ساله کشتی آزاد و دارنده چندین مدال طلای جهانی بود. او که به عنوان «فرزند ایران» شناخته می‌شد، ورزشکاری برجسته بود که با دوبنده کشتی و نشان پرچم ایران در میادین بین‌المللی حضور می‌یافت. زندگی این قهرمان جوان با بازداشت در جریان اعتراضات دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ (انقلاب شیر و خورشید) به شکلی فاجعه‌بار پایان یافت. پس از بازداشت، صالح علی‌رغم نبود شواهد و مدارک کافی، تحت فشار قرار گرفت و از او اعتراف اجباری اخذ شد. در سحرگاه ۲۸ اسفند ۱۴۰۴ (۱۹ مارس ۲۰۲۶)، جمهوری اسلامی او را به همراه دو تن دیگر از بازداشت‌شدگان، مهدی قاسمی و سعید داوودی، در قم اعدام کرد. در مراسم یادبود صالح محمدی، شرکت‌کنندگان به جای سوگواری سنتی، با پخش موسیقی و دست زدن یاد او را گرامی داشتند. او به عنوان جاویدنامی که جان خود را فدای میهن کرد، در حافظه جمعی به عنوان نمادی از قهرمانی و مظلومیت باقی مانده است.
