On Friday night, January 19, 2024, plainclothes agents of the Borujerd Intelligence Department opened a barrage of fire on the occupants of a car. As a result of this attack, 20-year-old Anahita Amirpour, a freshman student of physical education at Borujerd Azad University, died instantly.
Anahita Amirpour was from Kuhdasht. During the last two days, the security services have pressured her family and friends not to inform about this murder. They also want to turn this incident into a security case by linking it to the recent explosions in Kerman.
Kuhdasht and Borujerd are both in Lorestan Province in western Iran.
The car’s driver was another student named M. Jalaii-far. He, who was seriously injured, is presently hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of Chamran Hospital in Borujerd.
Today, Sunday, January 21, 2024, two Chamran hospital staff were summoned to Borujerd Intelligence Department and severely threatened.
It is said that plainclothes officers of the Borujerd Intelligence Department rushed to the car of these two students and wanted to stop them and get them off. But since they were wearing plain clothes, the driver got scared and tried to escape, after which the agents of the intelligence department opened fire on the car, which caused the immediate death of Anahita Amirpour.
This is not the first time that security officers have taken the lives of innocent people by firing arbitrarily at people’s cars.
Soha Etebari, 12, was shot and killed inside her family’s car by the armed forces of the clerical regime Sunday night, December 25, 2022.
Soha Etebari and her family were driving on the road from Bandar Abbas, in Hormozgan province, to Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan, when security forces at a checkpoint in Bastak opened fire on their car. Badly injured, Soha Etebari lost her life on the way to the hospital.
The killing of the 12-year-old Soha Etebari took place on the night of the 40th day memorial of Kian Pirfalak, 9, who was killed in a similar incident in Izeh, Khuzestan, on November 16, 2022, during a vicious crackdown on protests in the city.
Kian Pirfalak and his family were passing through in their car when they were targeted by plainclothes agents and security forces in Izeh. Kian was killed instantly, and his father was shot and injured.
