Story

Mani Shafiei was an 18-year-old accounting student. On January 9, 2026, in Islamshahr, he was shot and killed by security forces during protests while searching for his father. He died in his grandmother's arms, unaware his father, Mehdi Shafiei, had also been killed earlier that day. Their bodies were released for 500 million Toman and buried on January 11, 2026, in their ancestral village of Chenar, Hamadan, after burial in Tehran was denied.

مانی شفیعی، دانشجوی ۱۸ ساله حسابداری بود. او در ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴ در اسلامشهر، در جریان اعتراضات و در جستجوی پدرش، با شلیک نیروهای امنیتی کشته شد و در آغوش مادربزرگش جان باخت. او از کشته شدن پدرش، مهدی شفیعی، که در همان روز جان باخته بود، بی‌خبر بود. پیکر او و پدرش با دریافت ۵۰۰ میلیون تومان و ممانعت از دفن در تهران، در ۲۱ دی ۱۴۰۴ در روستای چنار همدان به خاک سپرده شد.
