According to a report received by the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, Fatemeh Pour-Sadeghi, a 32-year-old teacher and mother of an eight-year-old child, was killed on January 9, 2026, in Rasht, Gilan Province, as a result of a gunshot wound to the heart.

The report states that she, along with a group of protesters, was targeted by gunfire from the Special Units and armed motorcycle riders affiliated with the IRGC in an alley on Farhang Street in Rasht. She was subsequently transferred to a hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Security forces reportedly requested that her family present her as a “Basiji,” a demand which the family refused. Ultimately, the body was released to the family after the provision of a formal undertaking and the intervention of an acquaintance of the family who is affiliated with the armed forces. Ms. Pour-Sadeghi was buried in the city of Rudbar, Gilan province, under strict security measures.

Due to restricted access to information and the security conditions imposed on the families of killed citizens, independent verification of all details in this report is currently not possible.
