Their story
Ariyan (Aryan) Eshghi Shaldehi was a 14-year-old schoolboy, born in Tehran in 1389 (2010), who lived with his family in Shahrak-e Valiasr in the west of the city. He was very close to his older brother, Amirhossein. On the evening of 8 January 2026 (18 Dey 1404) both brothers went out to the protests. Amirhossein was shot dead that night. Ariyan was shot with live ammunition at the Sepideh junction on Yaran Street, opposite Police Station 153. People carried him to a nearby clinic, but he had no phone or ID with him and his family could not be reached. Accounts differ on whether he was hit in the neck or the chest, and on whether he died that night or the next day. While his family buried Amirhossein at Behesht-e Zahra, they believed Ariyan had been arrested. His father went from hospital to hospital showing his photo, until the clinic called on 10 January to say the boy had been there and his body had been sent to the coroner. His father identified him there. The two brothers were buried together in a single two-level grave in plot 329 of Behesht-e Zahra.

Their narrative
جاویدنام آرین عشقی
آرین عشقی، ۱۴ ساله، دانشآموز و ساکن شهرک ولیعصر تهران، در جریان اعتراضات ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ جان خود را از دست داد. او پس از آنکه از زخمیشدن برادر بزرگترش، امیرحسین، باخبر شد، خانه را ترک کرد و به محل تجمع معترضان در نزدیکی کلانتری ۱۵۳ رفت. ساعاتی بعد، آرین نیز هدف تیراندازی نیروهای حکومتی قرار گرفت و به شدت مجروح شد. گزارشهای منتشرشده حاکی از آن است که او بر اثر اصابت گلولههای جنگی جان باخت. خانواده آرین تا مدتی از سرنوشت او بیخبر بودند. در حالی که مشغول پیگیری وضعیت امیرحسین و مراسم خاکسپاری او بودند، تصور میکردند آرین بازداشت شده است. پدر خانواده با در دست داشتن عکس فرزندش به بیمارستانها، درمانگاهها و مراکز مختلف مراجعه میکرد، اما اثری از او نمییافت. این جستوجوها سرانجام زمانی به پایان رسید که از یک درمانگاه نزدیک محل سکونتشان اطلاع دادند نوجوانی با مشخصات آرین به آنجا منتقل شده و سپس پیکرش به کهریزک فرستاده شده است. پدر با مراجعه به پزشکی قانونی، پیکر بیجان فرزند ۱۴ ساله خود را شناسایی کرد. بر اساس گزارشهای حقوق بشری، پیکر آرین دو روز مفقود بود و پس از انتقال به کهریزک پیدا شد. همچنین خانواده برای تحویل پیکر فرزندانشان با فشارهای امنیتی مواجه شدند. آرین دانشآموز بود و به گفته نزدیکانش رابطهای بسیار صمیمی با برادر بزرگترش داشت. سرانجام او در کنار امیرحسین، در قطعه ۳۲۹ بهشت زهرا و در یک قبر دوطبقه به خاک سپرده شد. روایت این دو برادر، روایت خانوادهای است که در فاصلهای کوتاه دو فرزند خود را در جریان اعتراضات از دست داد؛ دو برادری که زندگی و مرگشان به شکلی ناگسستنی در کنار یکدیگر ثبت شد.
