Biography

Abolfazl Vahidi was a 13-year-old child laborer who had lost his mother at age ten. He worked in a shoe workshop, saving money for a car and dreaming of owning foreign sneakers. On January 8, 2026, he was killed by security forces who shot him directly in the neck during protests in Naziabad, Tehran. His family found his body three days later in the Kahrizak Forensic Medicine center.
