Sajdeh Karimi

How they died

Shot with direct gunfire by Islamic Republic forces while holding her mother's hand in front of the shrine in Astaneh Ashrafiyeh. Killed without any confrontation or threat, dying in front of her mother's eyes. Mother, in indescribable shock and fear that officers would take her daughter's body, transported the corpse home and kept it with her until morning.

Why we remember them
