Mohammad Haji Rasoulpour

.Mohammad Haji Rasoulpour was arrested in Bukan during the nationwide uprising triggered by the murder of Mahsa Amini and died from torture six days later in the hospital. He was previously sentenced to prison for supporting a dissident group.

The murder of Mahsa Amini triggered a country-wide uprising in September 2022 in Iran. The protests were initially sporadical around the country and against the mandatory hijab. But in a few days, dozens of cities in Iran became the scenes of clashes between protesters and security forces. The protesters' main demands were freedom of attire and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. The focus of the protests on women led to international attention. <symbol-timeline></symbol-timeline>
