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.

Yalda Aghafazli, a 19-year-old artist, was arrested on October 26, 2022, during the Woman Life Freedom protests near Enghelab Street in Tehran. She was subsequently detained in Qarchak Prison, where she reported experiencing physical abuse during her custody. Shortly after her release from prison, Yalda Aghafazli died suspiciously at home on November 11, 2022. Official reports attributed her death to suicide, though a Deutsche Welle documentary highlighted that she did not express regret despite pressures during her detention. Her father shared a video of her dancing, questioning why her generation's happiness was opposed. Her family faced government pressure to cancel anniversary memorial ceremonies for Yalda, who is remembered as a "martyr for freedom." Her tombstone, adorned with flowers, serves as a testament to her memory.

یلدا آقافضلی، هنرمند ۱۹ ساله، در تاریخ ۴ آبان ۱۴۰۱ در جریان اعتراضات زن زندگی آزادی حوالی خیابان انقلاب تهران بازداشت شد. او به زندان قرچک منتقل و در دوران بازداشت از ضرب و شتم خود خبر داده بود. یلدا آقافضلی در تاریخ ۲۰ آبان ۱۴۰۱، اندکی پس از آزادی از زندان، به طرز مشکوکی در خانه جان باخت. روایت‌های رسمی علت مرگ او را خودکشی اعلام کردند، اما یک مستند دویچه‌وله اشاره کرد که او با وجود همه فشارها اظهار پشیمانی نکرد. پدرش با انتشار ویدیویی از رقص دخترش، مخالفت با شادی جوانان را زیر سوال برد. خانواده او برای برگزاری مراسم سالگرد یادبودش تحت فشارهای حکومتی قرار گرفتند. یلدا آقافضلی به عنوان «شهید راه آزادی» یاد می‌شود و سنگ مزارش با گل‌های فراوان مزین است.
