Aida Rostami was a doctor who treated protesters until she was tortured and murdered by Iranian officials.

Dec 12, after taking care of several wounded protesters in Ekbatan, Aida left a protester’s house to get medical supplies and was never seen alive again. Officials told her family to pick up her tortured body a day later. Just like that.

She was 36.
