Atefeh Naami was a 37-year-old civil rights activist and Ahvaz native. In mid-November, 2022, she went to a peaceful anti-regime protest where she was arrested. After not hearing from her for almost a week, her family and neighbors broke into her apartment in Karaj on November 26, 2022, where they found her lifeless body. It is believed that she was tortured and killed while in custody and regime forces staged a fake suicide.
