Biography
Abolfazl Norouzi, a 15-year-old mechanic's apprentice from Mashhad, was shot and killed by security forces with live ammunition on January 8, 2026, near the Seyyedi Basij base. He had dropped out of school a year prior to work and help his family, dreaming of buying a motorcycle. His family refused pressure to identify him as a Basij member and were not allowed to hold public mourning ceremonies, burying him silently in Behesht-e Reza Cemetery.
