HRANA – Meysam and Mojtaba Veisi, two citizens and followers of the Yarsan faith who had been pursued by security forces in connection with the January 2026 protests, were killed this morning after being targeted in a shooting by the IRGC Intelligence Organization in a village in Dalahoo County.

According to HRANA, two brothers were killed following a shooting by IRGC forces. The identities of the victims have been reported as Meysam Veisi and Mojtaba Veisi, two brothers and followers of the Yarsan faith, each of whom was the father of one child.

Since the protests of January 2026, the two brothers had been wanted by security forces for arrest and had been hiding in the village of Qal’eh Kahvash, located in Dalahoo County in Kermanshah Province. On the morning of yesterday, May 28, 2026, agents of the IRGC Intelligence Organization opened fire on their hiding place, resulting in the deaths of both men.

In this regard, Kurdpa reported that the bodies of the two citizens have not yet been returned to their families. The report also states that Mojtaba Veisi had been summoned by security institutions via telephone in recent months; however, because he had not received a written summons, he had declined to appear before those authorities.

Mojtaba Veisi had previously been arrested due to his activities.

It should be noted that protests and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, 2025, and within two days spread beyond markets and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests became one of the largest protest movements of recent years. Following the crackdown by security and law enforcement forces, thousands were killed or injured, and tens of thousands were arrested or summoned by security agencies.
