Fatemeh Farshchian was born in 1956 in Tehran. From a young age, she showed a deep commitment to social and student activities, taking an active role in the student movement during the turbulent years of the 1970s.
Fatemeh became acquainted with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) during the anti-monarchic revolution and embraced its ideals.
After the 1979 revolution, she embarked on a new path, working with local organizations. She spent time in the Khazaneh Association and later in the Muslim Mothers’ Association, where she emerged as a dedicated leader, shaping programs and guiding their initiatives.
Fatemeh had a passion for writing and was part of the editorial team of “Faryad-e Goadneshin” (Outcry of the Slum-Dwellers) magazine, where her sharp observations and concern for social issues were reflected in her articles.
In 1981, she was sent to the border region and later held responsibilities abroad. From 1986, she contributed tirelessly to Radio Voice of Mojahed, working in various departments, including the archives, helping to preserve and produce critical content.
In the summer of 1988, Fatemeh Farshchian took part in the “Eternal Light” operation and laid down her life for Iran’s freedom.
A few months earlier, in March 1988, she wrote a will that revealed her perspective on life and death. She saw death not as an end but as a continuation of the path she had chosen, dedicating herself fully to her ideals.
Today, Fatemeh Farshchian is remembered as a woman who devoted her youth and her life to her beliefs—and ultimately sacrificed everything for the freedom of Iran. Her courage and commitment continue to inspire those who hear her story.
