The news has been reported on various social networks, as well as by the Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad on her Twitter profile: "Her sister told me that she was only 20 years old and was killed by 6 bullets in the city of Karaj."

The journalist posted a video of Najafi's funeral, writing that the young woman "was shot to death in the street by the security forces because of the protest."
"Hadith was a kind-hearted girl and loved to dance. She was protesting against the brutal death of Mahsa Amini. Her crime was the desire for freedom," added Alinejad.
