Civilian casualties of 2025-2026 Iranian protests in Lordegan
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.[10]
Hengaw Organization of Human Rights reported the killings of Ahmad Jalil, 21, and Sajjad Valamanesh, 28, both Lors from Lordegan.[11][12][13] According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Jalil and Valamanesh were shot with live ammunition by government forces during public protests on Thursday, January 1, 2026, and later died from their injuries.[11][12]
