Their life
Ameneh Shahbazifard was born on 30 December 1983 in the village of Varkeh Rud, near Qazvin. After finishing high school she married and became the mother of three, two daughters and a son, and she lived with her family in the Sarasiab neighbourhood of Malard, west of Tehran.
She worked as a secretary and sometimes drove for her brother's call-taxi service. Her brother remembers a kind woman who was always trying to help the people around her, and that is how she died.
How the regime took them
On the evening of 17 November 2019, the second day of the protests, Ameneh went out to buy medicine for her child. Near her home in Malard she saw a young man who had been shot in the leg, took off her headscarf and knelt to tie it around his wound. Security forces shot her from behind in the neck, and she died where she fell.
When her husband kept calling her phone, a stranger answered and said its owner had been shot and taken away on a police bus. He found her body in the morgue at Imam Sadegh Hospital in Shahriar. Her age is given as 36 by the Boroumand Center and 35 by Amnesty International; her date of birth makes her 35.
