We are Mahsa & Roya Piraei, daughters of Minoo Majidi, one of the deceased September 2022.
Our mother, Minoo Majidi, three days after the killing of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, joined the protests in response to this crime. Our mother was a freedom-loving and compassionate person. From the last conversation she had with our father, this sentence was remembered: If we don’t go (protest), then who will go? The youth will go and get killed!
She went and on the way of her belief, she was shot from behind by the special guards of the Islamic Republic and died before reaching the hospital.
Roya: “I cut and shaved my hair as a sign of protest and to convey a message in this direction. On the seventh day, I stood at his grave with the cut hair in my hand and took a photo that had a lot of impact. Because of this, like all those who lost a loved one to the hands of the Islamic Republic, I was on a path to sue and demand rights and tell the truth.”
Mahsa: “After my mother was killed, I tried to be her voice that had been silenced and to follow her path of humanity and the fight for freedom. I want to be a mother like my own for my daughters.”
