Kianus Sanjari, a journalist and political activist, committed suicide in protest against numerous arrests and interrogations of himself and other political activists.
His cousin confirmed the news in an interview with Radio Free Europe (RSE) on November 13.
Sanjari's friends also confirmed his death in posts on the X network.
Since returning to Tehran in 2015 to care for her mother, Sanjari has been repeatedly summoned and arrested by the Islamic Republic's security and intelligence agencies.
A few hours before committing suicide, Sanjari announced his decision to end his life on the X network.
After an ultimatum demanding the Iranian government to release the four activists and journalists by a certain time was not met, Sanjari tweeted again: "My life will end after this tweet, but let's not forget that we are dying for the love of life, not death, I want Iranians to wake up one day and overcome slavery."
