Story

Amirhesam Khodayari Fard, a 22-year-old worker and protester, was killed by direct gunfire from security forces in Kuhdasht on December 31, 2025. The Iranian government attempted to label him a Basij member, but his family, followers of the Yarsan faith, firmly rejected this narrative. His father publicly stated that Amirhesam was proudly a worker and protester, not a Basij, during his burial where security forces were reportedly expelled by mourners. The family resisted governmental pressure and financial offers to accept the state's story.

امیرحسام خدایاری‌فرد، کارگر و معترض ۲۲ ساله، در تاریخ ۱۰ دی ۱۴۰۴ (۳۱ دسامبر ۲۰۲۵) در کوهدشت با شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی به قتل رسید. جمهوری اسلامی تلاش کرد او را بسیجی معرفی کند، اما خانواده‌اش که از پیروان آیین یارسان هستند، این سناریو را قویاً رد کردند. پدرش در مراسم خاکسپاری پسرش که نیروهای امنیتی از آن بیرون رانده شدند، اعلام کرد که او بسیجی نبوده و با افتخار یک کارگر و معترض بوده است. خانواده وی علیرغم فشارها و پیشنهادهای مالی حکومتی، از پذیرش روایت دولتی سر باز زدند.
