هدیه خدری

17-year-old resident of Saveh who lived with her mother and two sisters. Kidnapped by security forces during Dey month protests. Family was kept in complete uncertainty for 6 days until the regime falsely claimed to her father in Ganaveh that 'your daughter had a heart attack', while her body was delivered with clear signs of torture and beatings. Family was forced to sign a silence agreement and threatened to have a quiet burial. During the funeral procession in Ganaveh, her mother held her daughter's wedding dress in her arms; women were wailing and the mother was spinning around with the wedding dress - a burning image of dreams extinguished by torture. She was killed under torture, not from a 'heart attack'.
