The people of Marivan turned the funeral ceremony of Nasrin Qaderi into a massive protest on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
Tehran University PhD student Nasrin Qaderi, 38, was in a coma following multiple blows to her head. The state security forces in Tehran hit her in the head by batons during a November 4 protest in Tehran, where she was studying philosophy.
She died in a hospital on November 5. Fearing public anger, state forces secretly transferred and buried her in a local cemetery early morning.
