According to informed sources, Khosrow Alikordi, a prominent lawyer and advocate for Fatemeh Sepehri, passed away in his office last night from a cardiac arrest. The legal news site Vakalapress reported that Alikordi, well-known in Sabzevar, had been representing several individuals from the 2022 protests, including the family of Adineh Zadeh and Sepehri.

The Iranian human rights community mourns the loss of a dedicated and compassionate figure. Alikordi had endured personal loss during the Iran-Iraq war and, alongside his brother Javad Alikordi, had long fought for political prisoners and the families of victims in Khorasan. His dedication led him to spend time in Vakilabad Prison alongside some of his clients for pursuing sensitive human rights cases. His unwavering commitment to supporting marginalized families and voicing the plight of unknown prisoners made him a symbol of professional integrity and honor.

In response to his passing, a user expressed despair, stating that the ongoing killings in Iran signify a dire fate for the nation. The comment highlights a growing urgency for unity among Iranians, lamenting that silence will only lead to further losses and calling for an end to the regime before it leads to the downfall of the people themselves.
