Narrative

Setayesh Shafiei Tafreshi was a 20-year-old woman living independently in Tehran. Having spent part of her life as a ward of the Tehran Welfare Organization, she had built a life for herself before joining the protest movements in the city. On January 9, 2026, Setayesh was present during demonstrations at Khorasan Square in Tehran. As security forces moved to disperse the crowd, she began to flee but suddenly stopped when she noticed a young child who had fallen. Witness accounts indicate she told her friends that she couldn't leave because the child might be crushed under the feet of the crowd. While attempting to help the fallen child, Setayesh was shot in the leg by security forces. Amidst the deployment of tear gas and the ongoing crackdown, she succumbed to her injuries. She is remembered for her final act of selflessness and bravery in the face of danger.

ستایش شفیعی تفرشی، ۲۰ ساله، از فرزندان سابق سازمان بهزیستی تهران بود که به تنهایی در این شهر زندگی می‌کرد. او که به عنوان فردی مستقل شناخته می‌شد، در جریان اعتراضات میدان خراسان تهران حضور یافته بود. در تاریخ ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴، زمانی که مأموران امنیتی برای سرکوب معترضان وارد عمل شدند، ستایش در حال فرار بود؛ اما با دیدن کودکی که روی زمین افتاده بود، برای کمک به او توقف کرد. بر اساس گزارش‌ها، او به دوستانش گفته بود که نمی‌تواند بگذرد، چرا که ممکن است آن کودک زیر دست و پای جمعیت له شود. در لحظه‌ای که ستایش برای نجات کودک ایستاده بود، هدف شلیک مأموران قرار گرفت و از ناحیه پا مجروح شد. او در میان آشوب ناشی از سرکوب و استنشاق گاز اشک‌آور، جان خود را از دست داد. یاد او به عنوان نمادی از فداکاری و انسانیت در جریان این جنبش گرامی داشته می‌شود.
