Mehrshad Jafarpour

Mehrshad Jafarpour, originally from Khuzestan and residing in the Malek Shahr area of Isfahan, was killed during protests on January 9, 2026.

According to available information, despite experiencing leg pain, he left home with his teenage son that evening. On Rabat-e Dovom Street in Isfahan, he was shot in the abdomen in front of his child.

Reports indicate that his son attempted to assist him and moved him to a nearby parking area. He was later taken home and then transferred to hospital due to ongoing bleeding. At the time of hospital admission, he was conscious and able to speak.

Sources state that after his admission, family members were asked to leave the hospital. When they returned the following day, they were told that he was in stable condition. This information was reportedly repeated for several days.

Approximately one week later, authorities informed the family that he had died on the same night, shortly after being admitted to hospital.

His body was returned to the family on January 16, 2026, and he was buried on January 17, 2026, at Bagh-e Rezvan cemetery in Isfahan.

Mehrshad Jafarpour worked in mobile accessories sales and was married and father of a teenage boy.
