Biography
Rasoul Yazdani, a 42-year-old architectural engineer and artist originally from Arak and residing in Shahrak-e Andisheh, Karaj, was killed on January 8, 2026. He was shot at very close range by plainclothes security forces with a pistol, reportedly without the sound of a shot being heard. His body was found in Kahrizak four days later. Friends referred to him as the "architect of freedom" because he would always say "In the hope of freedom" instead of goodbye.
