Majidreza Rahnavard, a 23-year-old worker from Mashhad, was arrested during the 2022 nationwide protests in Iran. On December 12, 2022, he was publicly executed by hanging in his hometown after a swift and unfair trial.

These wishes have been honored by his supporters, turning his grave into a place of defiant celebration. Majidreza Rahnavard's memory continues to be honored through various memorials and gatherings, both in Iran and abroad, reflecting his enduring impact on the protest movement.

مجیدرضا رهنورد، کارگری ۲۳ ساله اهل مشهد، در جریان خیزش سراسری ۱۴۰۱ ایران دستگیر شد. او در تاریخ ۲۱ آذر ۱۴۰۱، پس از محاکمه‌ای سریع و ناعادلانه به اتهام محاربه، در زادگاهش به صورت علنی با طناب دار اعدام شد. او از حق انتخاب وکیل و دفاع مناسب محروم بود. اعدام او اعتراضاتی را در مشهد برانگیخت و بسیاری او را نمادی از مقاومت می‌دانند. رهنورد به طور گسترده‌ای به عنوان یک قهرمان ملی شناخته شده و در میان حامیانش با عنوان «شاه خراسان» از او یاد می‌شود. یکی از جنبه‌های مهم میراث او، وصیت‌های نهایی‌اش است که در ویدیویی از دوران بازداشتش بیان شد. او درخواست کرده بود که کسی بر مزارش گریه نکند، قرآن نخواند و نماز نخواند، بلکه با شادی و پخش موسیقی شاد، یاد او را جشن بگیرند. این وصیت‌ها توسط حامیانش گرامی داشته شده و مزار او را به مکانی برای جشن‌های اعتراضی تبدیل کرده است. یاد و خاطره مجیدرضا رهنورد از طریق یادبودها و تجمعات مختلف، هم در ایران و هم در خارج از کشور، گرامی داشته می‌شود که نشان‌دهنده تأثیر ماندگار او بر جنبش اعتراضی است.
