According to Kolbarnews, Mohammad Jafari, a 41-year-old Kurdish man from Kermanshah, was killed on the evening of Thursday, January 7, 2026, during nationwide protests in the Gol-Sorkh Street area of the city. Based on information received, he was shot from behind by security forces during a chase and pursuit operation and died as a result of his injuries. Mohammad Jafari was the son of Hossein and was married.
His body was buried on Thursday, January 14, 2026, at Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery in Kermanshah.
