Hamidreza Rouhi was a 19, avid biker, a university student and a model. He was shot and killed by security forces on November 17 in Shahr-e ziba during the “Women, Life, Freedom” protest, a neighborhood in the western part of Tehran. His last instagram post reads: “If the internet gets shut down forever, I want this to be my last post: Long live women, Long live freedom, Long live Iran.” State media initially claimed that Hamidreza was a member of the Basij militia of the Revolutionary Guards, blamed protesters for his killing, and called him a “martyr” as in the case of several other protesters. They had to admit later that he was a protester after his friends exposed the lie by posting photos of him on social media showing him protesting and chanting. His name will never be forgotten. Along with thousands more who have died in the last 44 years, Hamidreza will forever be in our hearts.✌️
