Pouria Hamidi

Ended his own life after publishing a protest video on YouTube, which some analyses interpret as a 'philanthropic suicide' aimed at collective salvation and drawing attention to social issues and injustice. He was born in Bushehr and was a graduate student in Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, at Persian Gulf University. He was described as knowledgeable, inquisitive, and a reader, with a passion for design and working as a 3D artist. He believed in staying in his homeland and that the rulers of the Islamic Republic should leave, not the people.
