Farham Nikpour

Farham Nikpour

Farham (Ebrahim) Nikpour was a citizen living in Amol and one of the detainees of the Women, Life, Freedom uprising. He ended his life shortly after his release due to security and judicial pressures and injuries caused by torture while in custody.

The national uprising of 2022 centered around the “woman, life, freedom” slogan was triggered in response to the murder of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini. The protests began sporadically in several cities and online space but in just a few days it spread to dozens of cities across Iran and the goal of the protesters changed to overthrowing the regime. <symbol-timeline></symbol-timeline>
