On 12 October 2022, Iranian teenager Asra Panahi (Persian: اسراء پناهی, born on 2007[1]) was killed during the Mahsa Amini protests in the city of Ardabil.

[2][3] She was among a group of students at Shahed Girls High School who are reported to have refused to join a pro-government demonstration and perform the "Salam Farmandeh" song.

[3] Officials from the school had attempted to force the students to participate in a pro-government demonstration[5] where they were to sing "Salam Farmandeh", an ideological song praising Ali Khamenei.

The Dana news network, linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, aired a video of an interview with a masked man who said he was Panahi's uncle.

[22] The Coordinating Council of Trade Union Organizations of Iranian Educators initially reported that the death of Panahi occurred as a result of the attack of plainclothes security forces at the school.

It caused the beating of the school students and shedding of the blood of my other daughters in my hometown Ardabil; this silence has the price of death and every day puts another heat in the heart of Iran, which is a betrayal of humanity and my country.
