Atefeh Naami

Atefeh Naami (Persian: عاطفه نعامی) was a 37-year-old Iranian woman who disappeared in Karaj on 21 November 2022 during the 2022 Iranian protests following the death of Mahsa Amini. Her family was informed of her death five days later. She had died under suspicious circumstances suspected to involve violence by the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Finally, on 28 November 2022, she was secretly buried in Behesht Abaad cemetery in Ahvaz by the security officers of the Islamic Republic. Iranian Human Rights Center quoted Naami's family and wrote: "Despite the fact that the effects of injuries were evident on Atefeh's lifeless body, the security institutions of the Islamic Republic issued an order to bury her immediately." Mohammad Amin Naami, the brother of Atefeh Naami, has stated in an interview with several media that on Monday, 28 November, his sister's body was buried by deceiving the family members and in silence. He added: "Atefeh's lifeless body was secretly buried by the security officers on the morning of Monday, 28 November 2022, while the family was told that the funeral would be at noon." The injured body of Atefeh Naami was put under a blanket by the government agents by staging a suicide and putting a water heater gas hose in her mouth and left her on the balcony of her apartment located in Azimiyeh, Karaj. Naami's family has definitely denied her suicide.
