Nazli Janparvar

Nazli Janparvar (Persian: نازلی جان‌پرور) was a woman from Bojnurd (Bojnord), the capital of North Khorasan Province, who worked as a fashion and clothing designer. Two years before her death she had lost her husband, who died after drinking counterfeit alcohol.

On the evening of Thursday, 18 Dey 1404 (8 January 2026), she was killed by government gunfire during the protests in Tehran, as verified by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights. According to a memorial account, she was hit in the hand by pellets in the Gheytarieh area of Tehran, reached a clinic alive, and was then killed by a fatal shot. Hengaw and Iran International's Javidnaman memorial record her age as 27, while some memorial posts give an older age.

During the 1401 (2022) uprising she wrote to the Tavaana civic education platform about what freedom meant to her: Kurds, Lors, Turks and Persians, women with and without hijab, believers and non-believers, all living freely side by side without an Islamic government. After her death her family asked that her name be shared widely, fearing she would otherwise remain an unknown hero.
