Another victim, another young woman. Her name was Mahak Hashemihad 16 years. She died at Shirazhis city, in the south of theIranfor the beatings suffered by officers security because he had been dating for weeks without veil: in the midst of the rebellion he wore a baseball cap. A symbolic gesture, a support of the revolution ongoing in your country, that of young people against the regime and in memory of another young woman killed, Mahsa Amini.
Hashemi is victim number 416 among all those who protest against the regime. On November 24, she left home and never returned. She died unrecognizable, with her face disfigured by the beatings of the police and the back broken by beatings. The authorities have forbidden his funeral.
In the city of Hashemi, Shiraz, where protests are inflaming the streets as in the rest of Iran, one of the symbol photo of the protest movement in memory for Mahsa Amini: that of kiss between two protesters among the crowded cars. In Shiraz, Hashemi already lived as a motherless girl, with his father and two younger sisters he cared for. She was gone for 48 hours. Then the phone call arrives at home, the father has to go to the morgue to recognize two unnamed corpses, and one was that of her Mahak.
The protest numbers are exorbitant: the arrests exceed 14,000it is not victims 416count held not by the authorities but by independent media and NGOs, even if the police spoke of yet another “accident”. An incident similar to the one that killed Mahsa Amini in September, also guilty of not wearing her veil correctly. Two and a half months have passed and the protest — to the cry of “woman, life, freedom” the echo of which also resounds in the stadiums of Qatar 2022 — did not stop. The young Iranians ask for the end of the dictatorship, until, as Alessandro Borghi says interpreting Stefano Cucchi in On my skin: “The stairs will stop of threat”.
