According to information received by IranWire, 73-year-old Soghra Hatami, a resident of Fardis, Karaj, was shot directly at close range by the suppressive forces of the Islamic Republic on January 9 and killed.
Sources close to the Hatami family say she was standing bravely in the front line of the Fardis protests amid the crowd when they shot her in the head with live ammunition, and she died instantly. This is the story of yet another kind and selfless mother of Iran.
Perhaps one of the bloodiest crackdowns on the evening of January 9 occurred in Fardis, Karaj, an event so horrifying and bloody that the shock of watching civilian videos of fallen citizens, whose streams of blood flowed on the ground, will remain with us for years.
“We must also contribute our share”
Soghra Hatami was a 73-year-old mother. On January 9, she intended to take to the streets following a call for protests. An informed source told IranWire: “An anniversary memorial service was being held for one of Soghra Khanum’s neighbors who had passed away the previous year. Soghra Khanum told the neighbors there that she intended to go to the protests. Witnesses say one of the neighbors told her that no one expects anything from you or me, but Soghra Khanum replied, ‘Should I just sit back while a young person goes out, gets arrested, executed, and killed, and then reap the benefits once the country is free? I cannot do that.’”
