January 22, 2026; “Elham Zeinali,” a young Kurdish supervisor from Kermanshah, is the identity of another of the victims of the January 8 popular protests in this city who was killed by the firing of live ammunition by the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic.

An informed source, while confirming this news to “Kurdpa,” stated: “Elham Zeinali,” a nurse and supervisor at “Imam Ali” Hospital in Kermanshah, was targeted by direct fire of live ammunition from the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic from behind on the evening of Thursday, January 8, 2026, during the popular protests in Kermanshah. She was severely wounded in the “back, abdomen, and uterus.” After being transferred to the hospital, she lost her life due to the severity of her injuries.

The body of this victim was buried five days later, on January 13, 2026, in the “Bagh-e Ferdows” cemetery in the city of Kermanshah.

Elham Zeinali, daughter of Fatemeh and Sohrab, was a compassionate, well-reputed, and well-known nurse and supervisor among her colleagues and patients. She was also responsible for the care of her elderly mother.

It has not yet been determined for “Kurdpa” whether an amount was received from the family for the delivery of this victim's body or if they were forced to sign a written commitment; however, sources had previously told “Kurdpa” that government institutions have received amounts between 700 million Tomans and one billion Tomans from families for the delivery of the bodies of those killed in Kermanshah, and families have been forced to pay these amounts to receive the bodies.
