Mohana Dokoshkani

Mohana Dokoshkani (Persian: مهنا دوکوشکانی; also spelled Mohanna Dokushkani or Mahna Doukoushkani) was an 18-year-old Kurdish young woman from Kermanshah (Kermashan) and a karate champion.

On the evening of Thursday, 18 Dey 1404 (8 January 2026), during the nationwide protests, she was shot directly with live ammunition by government forces in the Saadi neighborhood of Kermanshah and killed. The Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that she was shot by IRGC forces. Her family pursued the authorities for about a week before her body was handed over, and she was buried on Friday, 26 Dey 1404 (16 January 2026), at Bagh-e Ferdows cemetery in Kermanshah, with only a few relatives present and under heavy security.

Hengaw Organization for Human Rights verified her killing in a report that also confirmed the deaths of Armin Dadfar and Omid Shojaiyan, and she was among ten women whose identities Hengaw confirmed from the killings of 8 and 9 January 2026. Kurdpa, Kolbarnews and the Kurdistan Human Rights Network also reported her death, and HRANA's report The Crimson Winter lists Mahna Doukoushkani as a confirmed death in Kermanshah. Memorial notices were later shared for her seventh and fortieth days.
