Mehrpouya Abdollahi Piani, a 24-year-old resident of Fooladshahr, Isfahan Province, was buried on February 4, 2026. He had been shot and arrested in Kerman on January 8, 2026, and was subsequently subjected to a period of enforced disappearance.

According to information received by the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, Mr. Abdollahi, who was a student in Kerman at the time, went missing after sustaining gunshot wounds during protests. Despite repeated inquiries and sustained efforts by his family to determine his condition and whereabouts, authorities allegedly failed to provide any information. The family reportedly received his body on or about February 1, 2026.

Certain sources have stated that his body bore visible gunshot wounds and other injuries; some accounts circulated on social media, however, have not referenced these alleged findings.

Reports further indicate that security forces conditioned the release of his body upon the family’s compliance with specific demands, including signing a written statement identifying him as a member of the Basij or paying a sum of money reportedly requested by the authorities.

Given restrictions on access to information and the prevailing security conditions imposed upon the families of deceased individuals, independent verification of all reported details remains unavailable.
