Civilian casualties of 2025-2026 Iranian protests in Fuladshahr
[edit]Beginning on 28 December 2025, mass demonstrations erupted across multiple cities in Iran amid a deepening economic crisis and widespread dissatisfaction with the government. While initially sparked by frustration over skyrocketing inflation, rising food prices, and the severe depreciation of the Iranian rial, the protests quickly evolved into a broader movement demanding an end to the Islamic Republic's rule.[8]
Hengaw Organization of Human Rights reported the killing of Dariush Ansari Bakhtiariwand on Thursday, 1 January 2026, a Lor man from Fuladshahr. He was fatally shot by the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.[9]
