According to a report received by the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, Younes Shojaei Berjui, a 40-year-old resident of Zarrinshahr in Isfahan Province, was wounded by three gunshots on January 8, 2026, and transferred to a hospital in the city.
Informed sources say that after about ten days of treatment he had shown relative improvement and was expected to be discharged. However, shortly after taking medication, his condition suddenly deteriorated and he died.
It has also been reported that government forces conditioned the release of his body to the family on either paying one billion toumans (Approximately $9,500 USD) or signing a statement declaring that he had been a member of the Basij. Unable to pay the demanded sum, the family was compelled to provide the declaration in order to receive the body.
Due to restrictions on access to information and the prevailing security conditions imposed on the families of killed citizens, independent verification of all details of these reports is currently not possible.
