Kianoosh Sanjari, a prominent Iranian human rights activist, took his own life in protest against the Iranian regime, demanding the release of four political prisoners. In his final social media post, Sanjari expressed a desire for Iranians to overcome oppression, declaring, “Protest is the right of every Iranian citizen.” Having faced multiple arrests and long-term imprisonment due to his activism, Sanjari’s death highlights the severe crackdown on dissent in Iran. His passing resonates as a powerful symbol of the struggle for freedom and human rights in the country.
