Hemen Aman

Himen Aman was from the village of "Qurmish" and a resident of the neighborhood of Majbour Abad near Bukan. At the age of 26, he was arrested at the same time as the 2022 uprising and died in one of Bukan's security detention centers due to physical torture.

The murder of Mahsa Amini triggered a country-wide uprising in September 2022 in Iran. The protests were initially sporadical around the country and against the mandatory hijab. But in a few days, dozens of cities in Iran became the scenes of clashes between protesters and security forces. The protesters' main demands were freedom of attire and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. The focus of the protests on women led to international attention. <symbol-timeline></symbol-timeline>
