Biography

Javad Jalilvand was a 45-year-old resident of Karaj and the father of two young children, Pendar and Panah. He was killed on January 9, 2026, after being shot in the skull with live ammunition by government agents in Mehrshahr. Because his family refused to accept state-imposed conditions for burial in Karaj or Tehran, he was ultimately laid to rest in the village of Karzan in Tuyserkan, Hamadan.

جواد جلیلوند، شهروند ۴۵ ساله ساکن کرج و پدر دو فرزند خردسال به نام‌های پندار و پناه بود. او در تاریخ ۱۹ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ در جریان اعتراضات در مهرشهر کرج با شلیک مستقیم گلوله ماموران به سرش کشته شد. خانواده او با رد شروط نهادهای امنیتی برای «شهید» نامیدن وی، اجازه دفن در کرج را نیافتند و پیکر او را در روستای کرزان شهرستان تویسرکان به خاک سپردند.
