Their life

Hananeh was a young woman from Nowshahr, on the Caspian coast, and she was engaged to be married. Little more about her life has been published; her family has since been arrested for speaking about her death, which is one reason so little is known.

How the regime took them

Hananeh was shot dead in Nowshahr on 21 September 2022, during the protests over Jina Amini's killing, by direct fire from security forces that hit her in the side. Two friends told Amnesty International she was on her way home from a doctor's visit.

In August 2023 agents raided her family's home at night and arrested her parents, her younger sister and her fiancé.
