Ahmadreza and Amirhossein Feizi: two brothers killed by 36 police bullets in Fardis, Karaj

Ahmadreza Feizi, 15, and Amirhossein Feizi, 19, two brothers from Karaj, were killed on the evening of 28 February 2026 in Fardis, Karaj, when the Islamic Republic's police fired on their family's car. According to a source close to the family, in a pursuit lasting about seven minutes the officers fired 36 live rounds at the car — solely because its occupants had honked their horn in celebration on the night of Ali Khamenei's death.

According to this source, the father of the family was driving from Mehrshahr toward Fardis with several colleagues and the wife of one of them, with his two sons sitting in the back seat. At the second roundabout in Fardis, officers confronted the car, and at the next roundabout they stopped it. After a verbal altercation, one of the officers smashed the car's rear windows with the butt of his weapon, even though he could see the two teenagers inside. The father drove off to get his children away from the scene; the officers called for reinforcements, and a police support unit joined the pursuit.

Shots fired after the car stopped

According to the source close to the family, on a quieter street the officers opened sustained fire on the car, and after it had come to a complete stop near a fire station, they fired two more rounds. A bullet hit Ahmadreza in the heart and Amirhossein in the side. The officers dragged the occupants out of the car, beating them.

The father asked for his sons to be taken to Shohada-ye Salamat Hospital, but the officers took them to the Resalat clinic in Fardis, which, according to the family, lacked the facilities to treat a live-ammunition wound. The family believes the delay in treatment cost Amirhossein his chance of being saved. After the family protested, plainclothes forces beat its members.

Bodies held hostage for four days

Security bodies refused for four days to hand over the two brothers' bodies and pressured the family to bury them in the remote "Behesht-e Ali" cemetery. The family finally accepted this condition to end the uncertainty and bury their sons as soon as possible. Officials of the Islamic Republic have so far given no public explanation of the two brothers' deaths, and not every detail of this account can be independently verified.

Holding the bodies of those killed hostage and imposing the place of burial is a pattern security bodies have used repeatedly, including in Zahedan, where 10 billion tomans was demanded for the handover of the bodies of three Baluch citizens. Direct shooting at citizens in the streets by the forces of repression, from the Dey (December–January) uprising to the night of Khamenei's death, has repeatedly taken the lives of teenagers.
