Story

Majidreza Rahnavard was a young worker and a protester during the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising. After a summary and unfair trial, he was publicly executed by the Iranian authorities in Mashhad on December 12, 2022, on charges of Moharebeh. His final request, asking that people celebrate with joy and music at his grave rather than mourning, has become a symbol of defiance and resistance.

مجیدرضا رهنورد، کارگر و از معترضان خیزش زن، زندگی، آزادی بود که پس از بازداشت در جریان اعتراضات سراسری، در یک دادرسی ناعادلانه به اتهام محاربه به اعدام محکوم شد. او در ۲۱ آذر ۱۴۰۱ در ملاعام در مشهد اعدام شد. درخواست او از مردم برای شادی و پخش موسیقی شاد بر مزارش به جای سوگواری، به نمادی از مقاومت و ایستادگی در برابر سرکوب تبدیل شده است.

Majidreza Rahnavard was a 23-year-old worker who joined the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests in Mashhad. After his arrest, he was tried without a lawyer in proceedings that were summary and unfair. On December 12, 2022, Iranian authorities executed him in public on a moharebeh charge. Before his execution, he asked people not to mourn at his grave with prayer or Quran recitation, but to remember him with joy and music. Protesters count him among the Javidnam of the movement.
