Overview
- Iran Human Rights reports Aminian was killed on the evening of January 8 after leaving Tehran’s Shariati College, struck in the head by a bullet fired at close range from behind.
- Relatives traveled from Kermanshah to Tehran to identify her, but sources close to the family say authorities initially blocked both identification and removal of the body.
- The family ultimately recovered her remains and returned to Kermanshah, where they found intelligence forces surrounding their home and were told they could not bury her.
- Family-linked sources told the NGO they were taken to a site near the university showing hundreds of bodies of young people, many with close-range head and neck wounds; these accounts could not be independently verified.
- NGOs cite more than 192 people killed during the protests, and Aminian’s name has spread on social media as a rallying hashtag.
