Biography

Nahayat Rahimi Dashti was a protester who was killed on January 8, 2026, after being shot in the neck by security forces in Palace Square, Gorgan. During her 40th-day memorial service, her mother described her as a dedicated fighter for her country rather than a mere bystander. Her family, who traditionally observed religious mourning rituals, now commemorates the anniversary of her death as their own sacred dates of remembrance.

نهایت رحیمی دشتی معترضی بود که در ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ با شلیک مستقیم به گردن توسط نیروهای امنیتی در میدان کاخ گرگان کشته شد. مادر او در مراسم چهلمش در بندرگز تأکید کرد که فرزندش نه یک رهگذر، بلکه مبارزی بود که برای وطنش جان باخت. خانواده او که پیش از این در ایام محرم به سوگواری مذهبی می‌پرداختند، اکنون سالگرد جان‌باختن او را به عنوان روزهای یادبود خود گرامی می‌دارند.
