Yahya Rahimi Sarab Shahraki was a 30-year-old tiler from Sanandaj, remembered as a hardworking and selfless individual. Born on November 30, 1991, into a Sunni farming family, he completed middle school before beginning his trade in 2016. He was known for his simple lifestyle and his dedication to his profession. On October 8, 2022, during the nationwide protests, Yahya was sitting in his car in Sanandaj when he engaged in an act of civil disobedience by honking his horn. In response, government security forces targeted him, shooting him in the head. Images from the scene showed him slumped in his vehicle, an event that became a prominent symbol of the movement's human cost. Since his death, Yahya’s family and other justice-seeking families have continued to honor his memory. On his birthdays and anniversaries, his relatives have engaged in charitable acts, such as distributing food and cake to the needy in Sanandaj. His grave remains a site for gatherings where community members and families of other victims meet to commemorate those lost during the protests.

یحیی رحیمی سراب شهرکی، کاشی‌کار ۳۰ ساله اهل سنندج، در خانواده‌ای کشاورز و اهل سنت به دنیا آمد. او که متولد ۹ آذر ۱۳۷۰ بود، پس از پایان مقطع سوم راهنمایی، از سال ۱۳۹۵ به حرفه کاشی‌کاری روی آورد. اطرافیانش او را فردی زحمت‌کش، ساده و فداکار توصیف می‌کنند که به حرفه خود تعهد داشت. در تاریخ ۱۶ مهر ۱۴۰۱، در جریان اعتراضات سراسری، یحیی در حالی که در خودروی خود در سنندج نشسته بود و به نشانه اعتراض مدنی بوق می‌زد، توسط نیروهای حکومتی از ناحیه سر هدف شلیک گلوله قرار گرفت و جان باخت. انتشار تصاویر پیکر او در خودرو، بازتاب گسترده‌ای در میان معترضان و افکار عمومی داشت. پس از این واقعه، خانواده یحیی رحیمی و دیگر خانواده‌های دادخواه یاد او را زنده نگاه داشته‌اند. در مناسبت‌هایی مانند زادروز او، خانواده‌اش با انجام امور خیریه از جمله توزیع غذا و کیک میان نیازمندان سنندج، یاد او را گرامی می‌دارند. مزار او به محلی برای تجمع خانواده‌های داغدار و دادخواه تبدیل شده است که برای گرامیداشت یاد جان‌باختگان راه آزادی گرد هم می‌آیند.
