Sarina Esmailzadeh was a 16-year-old from Karaj who was killed on September 23, 2022 by security forces from repeated baton blows to her head. She was a student at Farzanegan School and a YouTuber who said in one video: "Nothing feels better than freedom." The regime claimed suicide but evidence shows otherwise.
Mehr means 'love' and 'friendship'. This month begins autumn and is dedicated to Mithra, the deity of covenant, light, and the sun.
مرده بدم زنده شدم، گریه بدم خنده شدم دولت عشق آمد و من دولت پاینده شدم
“I was dead, I became alive; I was tears, I became laughter The fortune of love came and I became eternal fortune”
— Rumi
