Fatemeh Azadi, a young woman from the northwestern Iranian city of Kamyaran, was heinously killed by the members of her family during a dispute involving her suitor.

According to a report by Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), on Friday evening, August 12, 2011, a young man was attacked by Fatemeh’s brothers and other family members when he was passing by their house in the village of Daroyan Safli located in Kamyaran County. When Fatemeh protested and attempted to get help, she was shot and killed by a family member. The police has arrested several members of this family, and the young man has been hospitalized for his severe injuries.
Eyewitnesses have reported that Fatemeh’s father is a member of the Basiji Milita in Kamyaran and has been armed by this organization. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps attempts to recruit members from Kurdish villages throughout the region without adherence to any particular standards, and weapons are provided to everyone who enlists.
Two years ago, another young woman from the same family apparently committed suicide because she was not allowed to marry a man she loved. Her death was reported to be suspicious.
