Samaneh Abdi

How they died

Trans man who was shot directly in the heart with a bullet. He was 24 years old, worked in accounting with a diploma degree, and was employed at a large manufacturing company in Baghestan area of Karaj. He also worked as a Snap driver after his main job to cover his expenses. Member of the queer community who, despite being assigned female at birth, did not consider himself a girl. The neighborhood where he lived did not have the capacity to accept his identity, but his family ultimately accepted his gender identity, as evidenced by the non-feminine photo they placed on his grave.
