Mohammad Moradi (Persian: محمد مرادی; born in 1984 – died in 2022) was an Iranian student living in the city of Lyon, France, who threw himself into the Rhône River in protest against the widespread suppression of the 1401 uprising in Iran and with the aim of drawing global attention to the violent behavior of the Islamic Republic towards protesters.[1][2][3]
Motivations
Before throwing himself into the Rhone river, Mohammad Moradi published two videos of himself in Persian and French. In his Farsi video, he emphasized that his purpose of committing suicide was not due to personal problems and he wanted to draw the attention of Europeans and Western people to the issue of Iran. He also added that he cannot tolerate the current miserable life both inside and outside of Iran.[4][5]
