September 15, 2026; Reports and images received by Kurdpa indicate that on the eve of the fourth anniversary of Zhina-Mahsa Amini's state-sanctioned killing, water from the Chaghar Weis Dam in Saqqez has been released for the third consecutive year to submerge and obstruct secondary access paths leading to Aichi Cemetery—where Zhina-Mahsa Amini is buried. Meanwhile, security and military forces are routinely deployed along the primary roads equipped with military vehicles and hardware to enforce strict checkpoints.
Over the past three years, on the eve of the anniversary of Zhina-Mahsa Amini's death, state authorities have executed this measure specifically to block public access to her grave. Furthermore, throughout these three years, even Zhina's family has been prevented from visiting her resting place, with security personnel stationed outside Amjad Amini's home to enforce effective house arrest and prevent family members from leaving.
Yesterday, September 14, 2026, images published by Kurdpa revealed the construction of new, taller, and larger mounting towers along the Saqqez-Aichi Road and near Aichi Cemetery, designed for the installation and expansion of CCTV surveillance cameras as part of the regime's ongoing militarization of the area.
