On the evening of January 8th, in Haft-e Howz Square, Tehran, His left eye was precisely targeted by a bullet.

Shahabeddin Samani, born in 1979, had a lifelong interest in martial arts and had won a medal in the global pankration competitions.

According to available information, he was shot directly on the evening of Thursday, 8 January, at Haft-Hoz Square in Tehran. A bullet struck his left eye, resulting in his death. The shot was fired by a sniper using a long-range rifle.

His body was found by his family after hours of searching in the backyard of Alghadir Hospital in Tehran. No fee was demanded for the release of the body, but the family waited until approximately 10 to 11 in the morning for the duty judge to issue the transfer order. His body was then moved to Kahrizak, where administrative procedures were completed. Finally, on Friday, 9 January, he was buried in Section 18, in a grave previously occupied by his grandfather.

After the burial, individuals from the Martyrs Foundation and other organisations contacted the family, requesting that their son be recognised as a martyr. The family declined this request. Concerns and fears of potential pressures remain within the family.

Shahabeddin Samani had been involved in martial arts since childhood and was a champion in the 2001 World Championships in Brazil for mixed martial arts pankration. He had participated in sports classes with his brother from around the age of ten and was a student of one of his coaches for many years. Their relationship continued until his death.

The Samani family is well-known in the Nizamabad Street area of Tehran, having been in the jewellery business for over 30 years. Shahabeddin also worked in this field, although in the past decade, he was more involved in construction.

شهاب الدین سامنی، متولد 1358، از کودکی به ورزش های رزمی علاقه مند بود و در رشته پانکریشن برنده مدال مسابقات جهانی شده بود.

براساس اطلاعات موجود، او در شامگاه پنجشنبه 18 دی ماه 1404 در میدان هفت حوض تهران هدف شلیک مستقیم قرار گرفت. یک گلوله به چشم چپ او اصابت کرد و موجب جان باختنش شد. شلیک توسط تک تیرانداز و با سلاح قناسه انجام شده است.

پیکر شهاب الدین سامنی پس از ساعت ها جست وجو توسط خانواده اش در حیاط خلوت بیمارستان الغدیر تهران پیدا شد. برای تحویل پیکر وجهی مطالبه نشد، اما خانواده تا حدود ساعت 10 تا 11 صبح منتظر حضور قاضی کشیک ماندند تا دستور انتقال صادر شود. سپس پیکر او به کهریزک منتقل و مراحل اداری انجام شد. در نهایت، روز جمعه 19 دی ماه، در قطعه 18 و در قبری که پیش تر پدربزرگش در آن دفن شده بود، به خاک سپرده شد.

پس از خاکسپاری، افرادی از بنیاد شهید و برخی نهادهای دیگر با خانواده تماس گرفتند و از آنان خواستند که فرزندشان را به عنوان شهید معرفی کنند. خانواده این درخواست را نپذیرفتند. نگرانی و ترس از فشارهای احتمالی همچنان در خانواده وجود دارد.

شهاب الدین سامنی از کودکی در رشته های رزمی فعالیت داشت و قهرمان مسابقات جهانی برزیل در سال 2001 در ورزش های رزمی ترکیبی پانکریشن بود. او از حدود 10 سالگی به همراه برادرش در کلاس های ورزشی شرکت می کرد و سال ها شاگرد یکی از مربیان خود بود. ارتباط آن ها تا پیش از کشته شدن او ادامه داشت.

خانواده سامنی از کسبه قدیمی و شناخته شده خیابان نظام آباد تهران بوده و بیش از 30 سال در صنف طلافروشان فعالیت داشته اند. شهاب الدین نیز در همین زمینه فعالیت می کرد، هرچند حدود 10 سال اخیر بیشتر در حوزه ساخت وساز مشغول بود.
