Rasoul Felegari

Rasoul Felehgari, was shot and killed by armed forces of the Islamic Republic during protests in Qarchak on 8 January 2026. He was the father of two young children, a nine-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter. On Thursday night, around 11 p.m., a sniper positioned atop the Tajik Centennial building targeted Rasoul Felehgari near Kalantari Square in Qarchak, resulting in his death from a single gunshot. Rasoul worked diligently at a printing house in Zahir al-Islam, supporting his family and covering the costs of his wife's expensive medication, as well as his father's living expenses. Government forces insisted that Rasoul's body be buried in the newly established Behesht Fatemeh. However, after efforts by the family, his body was received on 12 January 2026 and laid to rest in Emamzadeh Abdullah, Davoodabad, Qarchak, next to his mother's grave. Rasoul Felehgari's tombstone bears the inscription: "A Kurdish son who gave his life for freedom like Kaveh."
