Biography
Majidreza Rahnavard was a 23-year-old worker arrested during the Woman, Life, Freedom protests in Iran. He was publicly executed by hanging in Mashhad on December 12, 2022, following a swift and unfair trial where he was denied legal representation. His final wish was for people to celebrate at his grave rather than mourn.
