Biography

Masoud Youseleyani, 34, was killed on January 9, 2026, in Isfahan, at Pol-e Tamadon (Emamzadeh Street), by a direct shot from behind to the head with a sniper rifle by Islamic Republic forces. His father was also injured at the scene, hospitalized for a week, and underwent two surgeries, which prevented him from attending Masoud's funeral. Masoud's body was returned to his family after six days on January 15, 2026, and buried next to his mother in Bagh-e Rezvan, Isfahan. Although Iranian, a memorial was also held for him and other Georgian "Javidnaman" in Georgia.

مسعود یوسلیانی، ۳۴ ساله، در تاریخ ۱۹ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ در اصفهان، پل تمدن (خیابان امامزاده)، بر اثر شلیک مستقیم از پشت به ناحیه سر با سلاح قناصه توسط نیروهای جمهوری اسلامی کشته شد. پدر مسعود نیز در همان محل با اصابت گلوله به ران پا مجروح شد و به دلیل شدت جراحات یک هفته بستری و دو بار جراحی شد و نتوانست در مراسم خاکسپاری فرزندش حضور داشته باشد. پیکر مسعود پس از ۶ روز، در تاریخ ۲۵ دی‌ماه تحویل خانواده شد و در باغ رضوان اصفهان، کنار مادرش به خاک سپرده شد. مسعود ایرانی بود و مراسم یادبود برای او و تمامی جاویدنامان گرجی در گرجستان نیز برگزار شد.
