Biography

Ghazaleh Chalabi was a 33-year-old mountaineer and banking professional from Amol who was fatally shot by security forces while filming a protest in front of the local governor's office. The moment of her death was captured on her own phone as she chanted for unity among protesters. Following her death, authorities reportedly blocked her family's attempt to fulfill her wish of organ donation to prevent her from becoming a symbolic figure.

غزاله چلابی، کوهنورد و حسابدار ۳۳ ساله اهل آمل بود که در ۳۰ شهریور ۱۴۰۱ در جریان اعتراضات مقابل فرمانداری آمل با شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی جان باخت. او در لحظات پایانی عمرش در حالی که شعار «نترسید، ما همه با هم هستیم» سر می‌داد، صحنه اصابت گلوله به خود را با دوربین موبایلش ثبت کرد. علیرغم وصیت او برای اهدای عضو، نهادهای امنیتی به منظور جلوگیری از «اسطوره‌سازی»، اجازه اهدای اعضای او را به خانواده‌اش ندادند.
