Biography
Mehdi was killed by security forces using live ammunition in Fardis, Karaj, on the night of January 9, 2026. For a week, authorities refused to release his body to his family at Kahrizak and Behesht-e Zahra, while intelligence agents pressured them to falsely claim he was a member of the state forces. Eyewitness accounts described numerous bodies being transported in refrigerated trucks with execution-style shots, allegedly part of a state effort to deflect blame for the deaths.
مهدی در شب ۱۹ دیماه ۱۴۰۴ در فردیس کرج با شلیک گلوله جنگی توسط ماموران جمهوری اسلامی به قتل رسید. پیکر او به مدت یک هفته در کهریزک و بهشت زهرا از خانوادهاش دریغ شد و نهادهای امنیتی خانواده او را تحت فشار گذاشتند تا او را به عنوان نیروی حکومتی معرفی کنند. شاهدان عینی از انتقال شمار زیادی از اجساد با کامیونهای یخچالدار خبر دادند که با هدف انتساب جنایات به عوامل خارجی، به آنها تیر خلاص زده شده بود.
