Iranian women walk in a street in Tehran, Iran October 3, 2022. WANA - REUTERSPIX: “I am really hoping that in some years from now, after everything has changed, I will be happy to have been involved by taking part in this protest,“ Iranian woman Hadis Najafi, 22, said in a self-recorded video as she prepared to take to the streets.
The protests have broken taboos in Iran, with slogans shouted against the regime and women removing their headscarves. But security forces have hit back with a lethal force that Amnesty says raises concerns of an intent to kill demonstrators. The women killed had no previous experience of political activism and, according to relatives, went to the streets for a movement that they believed offered an unprecedented glimpse of hope.
Minoo Majidi, 62, was killed by a shot fired by security forces during a protest on September 20 in the Kurdish-populated city of Kermanshah in northwestern Iran, according to the Norway-based Hengaw rights group. Hannaneh Kia, 23, was killed the same day in the city of Nowshahr, according to family sources and activists. Amnesty reported that two friends had said she was shot on her way home from a doctor’s visit.Activists say nearly all the victims died after being shot at close range.
