Artin Rahmani was a 14-year-old from Izeh who became a poignant symbol of the "Woman Life Freedom" movement after he was killed on November 16, 2022. During the nationwide protests in his hometown, Artin was shot by government security forces with direct gunfire. Before his death, Artin left behind messages that reflected both his awareness of the risks he was taking and his hope for the future. In a note to his mother, he wrote: "I am sorry mother, I want to step on a path where you might not see my youth." He also shared a message on social media asking that if better days arrived and he was no longer there, others should "laugh heartily" in his place. Following his death, his family faced significant pressure from authorities to bury him as a government "martyr," a demand they refused. During his funeral service, mourners famously removed and tore the Islamic Republic flag that officials had placed over his casket. Since his burial, the state has continued to target his family, with reports of threats against his mother and sister, and the legal confiscation of family property.

آرتین رحمانی، نوجوان ۱۴ ساله‌ای اهل ایذه بود که در جریان اعتراضات سراسری «زن، زندگی، آزادی» جان باخت. او در شامگاه ۲۵ آبان ۱۴۰۱ بر اثر شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی در زادگاهش کشته شد. آرتین پیش از کشته شدن، یادداشتی تأثیرگذار برای مادرش به جا گذاشته بود که در آن نوشته بود: «شرمنده‌ام مادر، می‌خواهم در راهی قدم بگذارم که شاید جوانی‌ام را نبینی.» او همچنین در یکی از استوری‌های اینستاگرامش نوشته بود: «حالمون خوب میشه یه روز، اگر من نبودم، تو جای من از ته دل بخند...» پس از جان‌باختن او، نهادهای امنیتی فشار زیادی بر خانواده‌اش وارد کردند تا او را به عنوان «شهید» حکومتی به خاک بسپارند، اما خانواده او از این پذیرش این عنوان امتناع کردند. در روز تشییع پیکر او، سوگواران پرچم جمهوری اسلامی را که مأموران بر روی تابوت او قرار داده بودند، برداشته و پاره کردند. فشارهای حکومتی بر خانواده رحمانی پس از خاکسپاری نیز ادامه یافته و گزارش‌هایی از تهدید اعضای خانواده و مصادره اموال آن‌ها توسط دادگاه انقلاب ایذه منتشر شده است.
