Deaths of a pregnant woman, 25, and daughter, 5 years old
On the morning of Tuesday, August 6, 2024, plainclothes agents from the IRGC Intelligence in Khash, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, opened fire on a moving Peugeot 405 vehicle without any prior warning. This tragic event resulted in the death of a 25-year-old pregnant woman named Nazila Irandegani, who was shot multiple times and died instantly. Her five-year-old daughter, Tina Nasiri, succumbed to her injuries later in the hospital.
Three other passengers in the car, including another child, were severely injured.
Nazila Irandegani, along with her husband Shahram Nasiri and their children, were passing through the Khash intersection when their vehicle was targeted by the IRGC forces. Shahram Nasiri was detained by the agents and taken to an undisclosed location.
This is not an isolated incident of indiscriminate and arbitrary shooting by the IRGC and State Security Force (SSF) leading to the deaths of innocent children and civilians. In 2022, similar incidents resulted in the deaths of Kian Pirfalak, 9, Mona Naghib, 8, and Soha Etebari, 12, when armed regime agents shot at civilian vehicles.
