Neda Ghasemi was a 25-year-old retail worker and mother who lived and worked in Tehran. Originally from Abhar, Neda had experienced significant loss early in life, having been orphaned as a child and raised by her grandmother. By the age of 25, she had established her own family and was raising a five-year-old daughter. On the evening of January 8, 2026, Neda was present during protests in the Shahrak-e Andisheh district of Tehran. She was killed after being shot twice from behind with live ammunition by security forces. Her death left her young child without a mother and devastated her community. Neda was laid to rest in Behesht-e Fatemeh Cemetery in her hometown of Abhar. In a heartbreaking detail shared by those close to the family, her five-year-old daughter did not attend the funeral, insisting that her mother was still at home. She is remembered as a resilient woman who sought a better future despite the hardships of her upbringing.

ندا قاسمی، مادر ۲۵ ساله و فروشنده‌ای بود که در تهران زندگی و کار می‌کرد. او که اصالتاً اهل ابهر بود، زندگی پرفراز و نشیبی را پشت سر گذاشته بود؛ ندا در کودکی والدین خود را از دست داد و توسط مادربزرگش بزرگ شد. او در زمان جان‌باختن، صاحب یک دختر پنج ساله بود. در شامگاه ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، ندا در جریان اعتراضات شهرک اندیشه تهران حضور داشت که هدف شلیک نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت. او با اصابت دو گلوله جنگی از پشت سر جان خود را از دست داد و فرزند خردسالش را تنها گذاشت. پیکر او در بهشت فاطمه ابهر به خاک سپرده شد. گفته می‌شود دختر پنج‌ساله او که نمی‌توانست واقعیت تلخ از دست دادن مادرش را بپذیرد، در مراسم خاکسپاری حاضر نشد و می‌گفت: «مامان من توی خانه است.» یاد ندا قاسمی به عنوان زنی که با وجود سختی‌های بسیار برای زندگی و آینده‌اش تلاش می‌کرد، در خاطره‌ها جاودانه شد.
