Biography

Javad Jalilvand was a 45-year-old father of two, with a 6-year-old son named Pendar and a 6-month-old daughter named Panah. He was killed on January 9, 2026, in Mehrshahr, Karaj, by a direct gunshot wound to the skull from security forces. His family received his body after two days but was denied permission to bury him in Tehran or Karaj, as they refused to have him declared a "martyr" by the Islamic Republic. He was ultimately buried in Tuyserkan, and his 40th-day memorial was held in Karzan village, Hamadan.

جواد جلیلوند، پدر ۴۵ ساله‌ پندار شش ساله و پناه شش ماهه بود. او در تاریخ ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴ در مهرشهر کرج با شلیک مستقیم گلوله به جمجمه توسط نیروهای امنیتی کشته شد. خانواده‌اش پس از دو روز پیکر او را تحویل گرفتند، اما اجازه دفن او در تهران یا کرج را نداشتند، زیرا با پیش‌شرط جمهوری اسلامی مبنی بر شهید اعلام کردن او موافقت نکردند. او سرانجام در تویسرکان به خاک سپرده شد و مراسم چهلم او در روستای کرزان همدان برگزار شد.
