Their life

Saleh Mohammadi was born in Qom on 11 March 2007 and was a freestyle wrestler. In September 2024, at 17, wearing the singlet of Iran's national freestyle team, he won a bronze medal at the international Saitiev Cup in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, and wrestling websites abroad wrote about his international record.

He turned 19 on 11 March 2026. Eight days later the regime hanged him.

How the regime took them

He was arrested on 15 January 2026 and accused of taking part in the killing of a policeman in Qom on 8 January, at the height of the uprising. He told the court that his confessions had been forced out of him under torture; the court rejected that and relied on a crime-scene 'reconstruction' and 'eyewitnesses'. Iran Human Rights says no other evidence of his guilt was presented. On 19 March 2026 he was hanged in Qom with Saeed Davodi and Mehdi Ghasemi, the first protesters of the January uprising to be executed. State media said the hanging took place 'in the presence of a group of people'.
