Biography
Rahim Heidari was a 51-year-old father of three from Najafabad who was killed during protests on January 10, 2026, after being shot in the face by government agents. Following his death, his family hid his body at home for nearly a day to prevent it from being seized by security forces. His mother refused to allow him to be buried anonymously, eventually leading the family to surrender the body to authorities before receiving it back for burial several days later.
