Mina Pakmanesh

Mina Pakmanesh (Persian: مینا پاک‌منش), daughter of Heybatollah, was a thirty-six-year-old woman from Tehran, born on 5 Khordad 1368 (26 May 1989). She held a degree in computer science. After her father died, she lived with her mother and became her main support, putting her own plans aside so that the household would not lose its warmth. Those who knew her remember her sense of responsibility and her kindness.

On Thursday, 18 Dey 1404 (8 January 2026), as protests continued across Tehran, Mina went to the Haft-Hoz area of Narmak in eastern Tehran to help people who had been wounded. There she was shot directly in the head by the Islamic Republic's security forces and killed.

She is buried at Behesht-e Zahra cemetery in Tehran, in section 328, row 211, number 114. Her gravestone gives the dates 5 Khordad 1368 and 18 Dey 1404 and carries a verse in her memory: "Today is your day in the calendar; happy martyrdom, lady of the sun."

HRANA lists her among the confirmed dead, and her name, with her father's name, appears in the official list of the dead published in February 2026. Javidan Iran, Narrata, and Iran International's Javidnaman memorial also keep memorial records for her.
