Fereshteh Ahmadi, a 32-year-old photographer and mother of two young children, Bavan and Miran, was from Mahabad. Born in Hamzeh Abad village near Mahabad, she had completed her bachelor's degree and was recognized as an intelligent and capable individual. On October 27, 2022, Fereshteh Ahmadi was killed by direct gunfire from Iranian security forces during protests in Mahabad, which were part of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement. Despite attempts by the government to deny her killing, claiming she died at home, her family—including her brother and husband—affirmed she was shot by state agents during the protests. Fereshteh Ahmadi was buried in Hamzehabad village. Heartbreaking images of her young daughter crying and clutching the soil at her mother's grave gained global attention, symbolizing the profound grief left by her death. Her children, Bavan and Miran, continue to honor her memory.

فرشته احمدی، عکاس ۳۲ ساله و مادر دو فرزند خردسال به نام‌های باوان و میران بود. او اهل مهاباد و متولد روستای حمزه‌آباد از توابع این شهر بود. فرشته احمدی تحصیلات خود را در مقطع کارشناسی به پایان رسانده و فردی باهوش و توانا شناخته می‌شد. در تاریخ ۵ آبان ۱۴۰۱، فرشته احمدی در جریان اعتراضات مهاباد که بخشی از جنبش «زن، زندگی، آزادی» بود، با شلیک مستقیم نیروهای حکومتی کشته شد. جمهوری اسلامی تلاش کرد تا قتل او را انکار کند و مدعی شد که او بر اثر شلیک گلوله در خانه‌اش جان باخته است. اما خانواده‌اش، از جمله برادر و همسر او، این روایت را رد کرده و تأیید کردند که فرشته توسط مأموران حکومتی در اعتراضات مهاباد به قتل رسیده است. فرشته احمدی در روستای حمزه‌آباد به خاک سپرده شد. تصاویر دلخراش دختر خردسالش که بر سر مزار مادرش گریه می‌کرد و خاک مزار را چنگ می‌زد، بازتاب گسترده جهانی یافت و نمادی از اندوه عمیق ناشی از مرگ او شد. فرزندانش، باوان و میران، یاد او را گرامی می‌دارند.
