Maliheh Anjakani (Persian: ملیحه انجکانی; also recorded as Melika Anjakani and Melihe Anjikani) was a 21-year-old woman originally from Neyshabur (Nishapur) who lived in the Qasemabad neighbourhood of Mashhad in Razavi Khorasan Province.
On the evening of Friday, 19 Dey 1404 (9 January 2026), during the nationwide protests in Mashhad, she was shot in the throat with live ammunition by government forces while among the crowd, and was killed. Hengaw verified her killing by direct military gunfire in Mashhad.
Her body was taken to her family's hometown and buried at Behesht-e Fazl cemetery in Neyshabur. Friends created a memorial page in her name, and posts remembering her describe a gentle, luminous young woman "at the age of dreams and of deciding tomorrow." HRANA lists her among its confirmed victims, and her name appears in the list of the dead published by the government in February 2026.
