In a heartfelt tribute to her daughter Jina (Mahsa) Amini, Mojgan Eftekhari released a poignant video on her Instagram account to mark Yalda Night. Accompanying the video, she wrote a touching message: “Come and pass through the forehead of the sky, my beautiful one.”
The post by Eftekhari, as the mother of Mahsa Amini, a young woman whose passing ignited widespread protests and calls for regime change in Iran, holds significant emotional weight. The message, shared on the longest night of the year, is seen as both a remembrance of her daughter and a symbol of the ongoing struggle for women’s rights and freedom in Iran.
Eftekhari’s post resonates deeply with the broader movement seeking justice and regime change in Iran. Her tribute on Yalda Night, a time traditionally spent with family and loved ones, highlights the enduring impact of loss and the continued call for accountability and change.
