Reyhaneh Yousefi was a 28-year-old theater actress whose life was cut short during the protest movements in Tehran. On the night of January 9, 2026, she was killed by direct fire from security forces in the Naziabad neighborhood. Following her death, her family was subjected to intense pressure and intimidation by security agents. After a secret burial was conducted, the family was forced to provide a false account of her death, claiming she had died in a car accident. Her case highlights the systematic violence used against protesters and the subsequent efforts to suppress the truth through the harassment of grieving families.

ریحانه یوسفی، بازیگر ۲۸ ساله تئاتر، از جمله معترضانی بود که در جریان جنبش‌های اعتراضی در تهران جان خود را از دست داد. او در شامگاه جمعه ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴ در محله نازی‌آباد هدف شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی قرار گرفت و کشته شد. پس از جان‌باختن این هنرمند جوان، نهادهای امنیتی خانواده او را تحت فشار و تهدید شدید قرار دادند. پیکر او به صورت پنهانی به خاک سپرده شد و خانواده‌اش تحت این فشارهای سیستماتیک مجبور شدند به دروغ علت مرگ او را سانحه رانندگی اعلام کنند. سرگذشت ریحانه یوسفی نمونه‌ای از خشونت حکومتی و تلاش برای ساکت کردن خانواده‌های دادخواه است.
