Biography
Amir Hossein Mirzaei was a 23-year-old athlete from Gorgan who was killed by direct fire from security forces on January 8, 2026. Following his death, security agencies pressured his family, forcing them to bury him six days later in the city of Khalkhal under the cover of night. Authorities restricted the funeral to a brief ceremony and threatened to return the body to Gorgan if the family did not comply with their demands.
