Story

Hananeh Kia Kajoori was a 23-year-old woman from Nowshahr, Mazandaran. She was engaged to Amir Kia and was known as the 'Bride of Iran' as her wedding was scheduled for shortly after her death.

She reportedly pleaded with hospital staff not to let her die, stating her wedding was only weeks away.

حنانه کیا کجوری، ۲۳ ساله، اهل نوشهر مازندران، در ۳۰ شهریور ۱۴۰۱ (۲۱ سپتامبر ۲۰۲۲) در اعتراضات سراسری «زن، زندگی، آزادی» کشته شد. در نوشهر گلوله نیروهای امنیتی به پهلوی او اصابت کرد؛ گفته می‌شود از مطب دندان‌پزشکی به خانه برمی‌گشت. او نامزد امیر کیا بود و عروسی‌اش برای مدتی کوتاه پس از مرگش برنامه‌ریزی شده بود؛ به همین دلیل به «عروس ایران» شهرت یافت. در بیمارستان، بر اساس گزارش‌ها از کادر درمان خواست او را نمیرانند و گفت تا عروسی فقط چند هفته مانده است. پدر و مادرش، وحید کیا و معصومه آذری، نامزدش و دیگران به دنبال عدالت بوده‌اند و یاد او را زنده نگه داشته‌اند. مراسم چهلم و حضور بر سر مزار در شب یلدا و نوروز بخشی از یادبود اوست.
