Remember his Name: Masih Bigdeli Age: 15 City: Isfahan He was a 15-year-old innocent teenager, full of dreams he never got the chance to live. He was at the age where life is supposed to mean school, friends, hope, and imagining a future. He was killed on January 9 in Isfahan, Iran after being shot by Islamoc Republic forces. He was first shot in the legs, and then fatally in the head as his father desperately tried to shield him with his own body. A child. A father’s arms. And gunfire that should never have been there. Masih’s name is now part of a long list of children taken by violence that cannot be justified or forgotten. Rest in power, Masih. You were more than a name. #Masih_Bigdeli #IranMassacre #January8_9

Remember her Name: Fahimeh Najjar Ajam Age: 29 City: Azadshahr She dreamed of building a future, held a degree in accounting, and helped her brother at his pastry shop. She was killed by the Islamic Republic on January 8, 2026, in Azadshahr, Golestan Province, Iran. Just moments before her death, she gave her scarf to help an injured protester. She was then shot in the chest by IRGC forces. Her family was forced to bury her quietly at dawn, denied even the dignity of a public farewell. May her name never be forgotten. #Fahimeh_NajjarAjam #IranMassacre #January8_9

Day 83. For 83 days, Islamic Republic regime has cut off the voice of Iran from the world. An entire nation pushed into digital silence while the world looks away. Internet shutdowns are not “security measures”, they are tools of repression, censorship, and fear. What happened to human rights in this century? Or do they only matter when convenient? #DigitalBlackOutIran‌

Remember her Name: Jamileh Shafiei Age: 66 City: Arak A patriot who was trying to protect young people and was shot dead by the Islamic Republic’s forces in Arak, Iran, on January 9th. Her child said: “My mom had chosen her path. I think she first looked Freedom in the eye, and then faced the cruelty of her killer. If there’s even a sliver of the Internet left, I will shout her name for as long as I live.” May her name live wherever freedom is spoken. #Jamileh_Shafiei #IranMassacre #January8_9

Remember his Name: Mohammad Mahdi (Mahan) Mardani Age: 23 City: Tehran He was a young man from Kermanshah who studied Industrial Management at Shahrood University of Technology, worked, played futsal as a goalkeeper, and dreamed of a normal life. But on January 9, in Qaleh Hasan Khan, Tehran, Iran, the Islamic Republic answered those dreams with a live bullet. Mahan’s Telegram bio read: “Even if only one of us remains, that one person must become the narrator.” Before he was killed, he told his mother: “Someone has to stand against this injustice.” Now his name remains, and so does his story. #Mahan_Mardani #IranMassacre #January8_9

Remember her Name: Aida Aghili Age: 34 City: Tehran She was an artist and a dreamer who carried freedom in her heart until her last breath. On January 8, she joined countless Iranians in the streets to demand dignity and freedom and the Islamic Republic’s forces shot her in Tehran, Iran. For days, her body was left wrapped in a blanket behind Alghadir Hospital while her family searched for her. Even in death, the regime denied her dignity and tormented her loved ones. Aida loved life deeply: dancing in nature, traveling through the forests of Gorgan at sunrise, creating art with her hands, and speaking openly of her hope for a free Iran. On her final birthday, she wrote: “I still believe freedom is coming.” The regime silenced her voice, but not her memory. May the name of Aida Aghili live forever. #Aida_Aghili #IranMassacre #January8_9

70 days. 70 days without internet. Millions of people cut off from the world, from work, from family, from truth. And the world scrolls past in silence. If this happened anywhere else, headlines would explode, politicians would speak, hashtags would trend for weeks. But when it’s Iran, the silence is deafening. An entire nation is being digitally buried in real time, and nobody wants to look. The internet is not a luxury. It is a voice, a lifeline, a human right. And right now, that right has been stolen from millions. History will remember not only those who imposed the blackout, but also those who watched quietly while a nation disappeared behind it. #DigitalBlackOutIran‌

Say his Name: Taha Hoshyar Baghbanani Age: 12 City: Tehran Taha was only 12 years old. He was shot in the face by IRGC security forces on January 8, 2026, while returning from a store with his parents during the crackdown in Bumehen, Tehran, Iran. His body was reportedly withheld from his family for 40 days. A child stolen by violence. A name the world must not forget. #Taha_Hoshyar #IranMassacre #January8_9

Is there any space in these discussions for the 90 million Iranians whose voices are being quietly suffocated without internet access? In today’s world, being offline for 53 days is not the absence of a luxury, it disrupts livelihoods, undermines safety, and restricts a fundamental sense of freedom. #DigitalBlackOutIran‌

Say his name: Masoud Bolourchi Age: 37 City: Tehran Dr. Masoud Bolourchi, physiotherapist, athlete, voice artist, actor, and founder of Rush Clinic. Educated in Budapest, remembered for his professionalism, quiet decency, kindness and integrity. His life was tragically taken on January 8 in Tehran, Iran. He was shot in the back of the head by forces of the Islamic Republic; a horrifying act that silenced a man devoted to healing, science, and service to others. This crime must neither be forgotten nor forgiven. His name must live on. #Masoud_Bolourchi #IranMassacre‌ #January8_9
