According to reports received by the Hana Human Rights Organization, on Friday, April 4, 2025, a 12-year-old girl identified as Aylar Zaherpoor, from the village of Sorkhak in Eslamabad-e Gharb County, was killed by her father using a firearm.
According to Hana’s sources, Aylar’s parents were separated, and she had been living under her father’s custody. Her father had consistently prevented her from seeing her mother. Nevertheless, Aylar had secretly maintained contact with her mother—something that, according to reports, led her father, Kiumars Zaherpoor, to murder her.
Hana’s sources added that following the murder, Aylar’s father attempted to commit suicide and is currently hospitalized in an unclear condition.
