Story

Narges Elmi, a 30-year-old genetics researcher and Tehran University graduate, was living in Tehran. She was killed on January 11, 2026, when government forces shot her in the temple while she was driving in Tehran, an act that reportedly splattered her brain onto her sister. Her body was retrieved by her family from Kahrizak after three days and subsequently buried in Ahvaz under tight security, thwarting her plans to pursue further studies in Canada.
