Narrative

Maedeh Javanfar was a 28-year-old nurse and a high-achieving graduate of the Guilan University of Nursing. A dedicated healthcare professional who entered university as a top-ranked student in 2012, she worked at a hospital in her hometown of Rasht, where she was known for her commitment to her profession. On October 26, 2022, during the nationwide protests in Rasht, Maedeh was killed by security forces. Her death occurred at the height of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, making her one of the many medical professionals targeted during the unrest. Following her death, authorities reportedly pressured her family to claim she had died in a car accident as a condition for releasing her body for burial. To support this narrative, state media released images of a staged or unrelated traffic accident in an attempt to obscure the reality of her killing by security forces.

مائده جوانفر، پرستار ۲۸ ساله و از فارغ‌التحصیلان ممتاز دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گیلان بود. او که با رتبه برتر در سال ۱۳۹۱ وارد دانشگاه شده بود، در یکی از بیمارستان‌های شهر رشت به حرفه پرستاری اشتغال داشت و زندگی خود را وقف خدمت به بیماران کرده بود. در تاریخ ۴ آبان ۱۴۰۱، هم‌زمان با اعتراضات سراسری در شهر رشت، مائده جوانفر توسط نیروهای امنیتی کشته شد. جان‌باختن این پرستار جوان در جریان جنبش «زن، زندگی، آزادی»، بازتاب گسترده‌ای در میان جامعه پزشکی و مردم معترض داشت. گزارش‌ها حاکی از آن است که نهادهای امنیتی تحویل پیکر مائده به خانواده‌اش را مشروط به اعلام دروغین علت مرگ بر اثر تصادف رانندگی کردند. در همین راستا، رسانه‌های حکومتی با انتشار تصاویری از یک سانحه رانندگی، تلاش کردند بر نحوه کشته شدن او توسط نیروهای امنیتی سرپوش بگذارند.
