Golnar Samsami was 34 with an 8-year-old son. She lived in Fardis, Karaj, but worked at a lab in Shahriar.
On November 17, 2019, Golnar Samsami had left the lab to go home and was waiting to catch taxi. Suddenly, a sniper shot her in the head from the top of a tall building.
Golnar’s colleague screamed, “Her head’s been pierced!”
Passersby took her to Sajjad Hospital.
Golnar Samsami was operated on and the bullet removed from her head. But she lost her life while in the ICU. Security forces took her body to the Kahrizak morgue and said she was among the protesters.
Her son, Roham, keeps asking, “Why did they kill my mom?”
Over 1,500 protesters have been killed during the Iran protests in November across the country. The regime’s officials have admitted killing at least 400 women in Iran protests.
The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) released the names of 28 more martyrs of the uprising, bringing to 587 the number of those killed across Iran identified by name among the estimated 1,500 protesters.
The Iranian regime has remained silent and is trying to conceal the facts. The suppressive forces refuse to hand over the bodies of those killed to their families. Many of those martyred were snatched from hospitals or streets and buried in unknown locations.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said the regime still refuses to hand over the bodies of the martyrs and brazenly demands their families pay for the bullets with which it murdered their children. This shocking crime is undoubtedly one of the most horrific crimes of the 21st century and by any measure amounts to a manifest case of crimes against humanity, she noted, underscoring that the international community must banish the religious fascism ruling Iran.
