Biography

Seyed Davood Emami, a 39-year-old monarchist citizen from Meybod, Yazd province, was killed on January 8, 2026. He was shot by live ammunition fired by IRGC forces, reportedly in front of the Imam Ali IRGC Headquarters in Meybod during national protests. Despite regime attempts to co-opt his death and portray him as a pro-government martyr due to his religious background, his prominent family, which includes an uncle who was Meybod's first casualty in the Iran-Iraq War, firmly rejected this narrative. He had two children.

سید داوود امامی، شهروند پادشاهی‌خواه ۳۹ ساله اهل میبد استان یزد، در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ کشته شد. او با شلیک گلوله جنگی نیروهای سپاه پاسداران، مقابل قرارگاه امام‌علی در میبد، جان باخت. علی‌رغم تلاش حکومت برای معرفی او به عنوان «بسیجی» و «شهید حکومتی» به دلیل مذهبی بودن، خانواده سرشناس او (که دایی‌اش نخستین کشته میبد در جنگ ایران و عراق بود) این ادعا را به صراحت رد کردند. او دارای دو فرزند بود.
