Biography
Abolfazl Tavoosi, a 20-year-old, was killed on January 9, 2026, during the "Lion and Sun revolutionary movement." He died from a direct shot to the head by security forces while reportedly assisting an injured person, having resisted pellet bullets and tear gas. His body was withheld from his family for several days and was eventually buried without traditional Islamic rites after they signed commitments. Security forces later threatened his family with grave exhumation in Yengabad (near Rey) to extract forced confessions, compelling them to guard his grave.
ابوالفضل طاووسی، جوانی ۲۰ ساله، در تاریخ ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴ در جریان «موج انقلابی شیر و خورشید» کشته شد. او با شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی به سرش به قتل رسید؛ این واقعه زمانی رخ داد که وی در حال کمک به یک فرد زخمی بود و پیش از آن در برابر گلولههای ساچمهای و گاز اشکآور مقاومت کرده بود. جسد او برای چند روز به خانوادهاش تحویل داده نشد و پس از اخذ تعهد، بدون غسل و کفن به خاک سپرده شد. پس از کشته شدنش، نیروهای امنیتی در ینگآباد (حوالی شهرستان ری) خانواده را برای اعترافات اجباری تحت فشار قرار دادند و با تهدید به نبش قبر، آنها را وادار به نگهبانی از مزار او کردند.
