Hamid Reza Rouhi Killed by Gunshot Wound to the Chest

Hamid Reza Rouhi was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest following last night’s protests in beautiful Tehran.

Hamid Reza Rouhi was a young man born in the 1980s who was introduced in 2014 in Prestige Magazine as the most attractive teenager in Tehran.

The news of this young man’s death went viral on social media while various narratives about him were circulating. Videos published from Hamid Reza Rouhi’s lifestyle on social media show that he was an enthusiastic young man, and his death had widespread resonance among users. In recent posts that Hamid Reza published on his personal page, he appears as a different person than a Basij member. He was also a blogger.

Official media and conservative news agencies introduced Hamid Reza Rouhi as a Basij member who was martyred by rioters with live ammunition. Farsnews Agency had also introduced him as one of Tehran’s active Basij members, but later announced that Hamid Reza Rouhi was present at last night’s protests as a protester.

Hamid Reza Rouhi had regular membership in the Basij, which is open to the general public and is not indicative of being anti-people or pro-government. Close friends of Hamid Reza Rouhi also stated that he was only a regular Basij member and was present on the street as a protester on the night of the incident.

These reports were published by people present at the scene and friends of Hamid Reza, and no other information is available regarding the accuracy of this incident.
