Narrative

When an AI summary appears below, it is generated from archive captions and profile text. It may be incomplete or mistaken; use the memorial profile and source links for verification.

Sara Saeedi, a 39-year-old mother of two daughters, was a resident of Mashhad. She tragically lost her life on January 9, 2026, in the Emamat neighborhood of Mashhad, during widespread protests. She was killed by direct shooting to her head and face by security forces. Sara Saeedi was among those who died during the Lion and Sun Revolution, an uprising against the government. Following her death, government-affiliated bodies attempted to appropriate her image, particularly due to her hijab, and distort the circumstances of her passing. However, her family actively resisted these efforts, refuting false claims—such as the recording of her cause of death as a "collision with agricultural machinery" on her death certificate—and ensuring the truth was known. Her body was returned to her family after three days under specific conditions, including payment and a commitment not to hold a public ceremony. A memorial service was held at her grave in Mashhad, where her teenage daughter was seen kissing a framed photograph of her mother.

سارا سعیدی، مادر ۳۹ ساله‌ی دو دختر اهل مشهد، در ۱۹ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ در جریان اعتراضات گسترده در محله امامت مشهد جان باخت. او بر اثر شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی به سر و صورتش کشته شد. سارا سعیدی یکی از جان‌باختگان انقلاب شیر و خورشید بود که در راه آزادی میهن جان خود را از دست داد. پس از جان‌باختنش، نهادها و رسانه‌های وابسته به حکومت، به دلیل حجاب او، تلاش کردند تصویر و نامش را مصادره کرده و علت دروغین برای مرگش اعلام کنند. اما خانواده‌اش در برابر این تحریف ایستادند و حقیقت را دفن نکردند؛ آن‌ها دروغ‌های حکومتی، از جمله ثبت علت مرگ «برخورد با ماشین‌آلات کشاورزی» در جواز دفن، را رد کردند. پیکر او پس از سه روز، با دریافت پول و اخذ تعهد برای عدم برگزاری مراسم، به خانواده‌اش تحویل داده شد. در مراسم یادبود او بر سر مزارش در مشهد، دختر نوجوانش قاب عکس مادرش را در آغوش کشید و بوسید.
