Azra Bahadori Nezhad was a 39-year-old writer and literature specialist living in Sabzevar. A mother of two children, ages 8 and 16, she was a writer of short stories who was known by those close to her for her deep devotion to Iran and her concern for the well-being of children. On the night of January 10, 2026, Azra witnessed security forces beating two young people in the street. In an act of bravery, she opened her door to provide them with refuge. As she did so, security forces fired directly at her, striking her in the neck and severing her carotid artery. Following her death, authorities held her body for four days, requiring her family to sign formal commitments before releasing her. She was buried under tight security, and her family was reportedly denied the opportunity to view her body before she was laid to rest.
