Minoo Majidi (1960 – 20 September 2022) was a 62-year-old Iranian woman who was killed by Iranian authorities during the September 2022 Iranian protests. [1]
Minoo Majidi was an Iranian woman of Kurdish ethnicity who was born in 1960 in a Yarsan family, in the city of Qasr-e Shirin. She lived in the city of Kermanshah with her husband and three children. [2]
Following the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the Morality Police, a wave of anti-regime protests began in Saqqez —Mahsa Amini's place of birth and burial— which quickly spread across Iran and all around the world. [3] [4] Minoo Majidi was one of the protesters on the streets of Kermanshah who was shot and killed by the forces of the Islamic Republic on 20 September 2022. [5] [6]
The funeral ceremony of Majidi was held on 22 September 2022 at the Mina Abad Cemetery in Kermanshah and turned into an anti-government demonstration. [7] [8] [9] The women present at the ceremony took off their hijab as a sign of protest and chanted slogans like " Woman, Life, Freedom" and anti-regime slogans. [10] [11] [12]
Days after the burial of Majidi, in which women unveiled and the attendees chanted in protest, a photo of her daughter went viral. [13] [14] In the photo, her daughter stands beside her mother's grave with her bare shaved head, holding her own hair, and staring into the camera in unbending defiance. [15] [16] The Italian Corriere della Sera newspaper published a picture of Majidi's daughter at her mother's grave and called it a new symbol of Iranian women's struggle for freedom. [17]
