Jina MahsaAmini was given a nickname by her grandfather: Schne. It translates to 'a gentle breeze.' dw_persian and derSpiegel spoke to relatives of the young woman who was killed in Iran. By Youhanna Najdi, NilooGholami, omdeedar and dialika_neufeld.
"We never imagined the day would come when our mother would fall asleep crying on your bed, while our father sat in the corner of the room hiding his tears from us, and that I wouldn't be able to bring myself to open the glove box of my car in case I caught sight of your hijab. ... My only wish is to embrace you one more time ..." That's what Ashkan Amini, Jina Mahsa Amini's brother, wrote on Instagram on October 11, 2022.
Her relatives are reserved when they speak to journalists. Phone calls are monitored, and the family reportedly began receiving death threats soon after Amini's death. That may explain their caution in conversations with DW andJina Amini's boutique in Saqqez was shuttered with a silver padlock when journalists visited in the middle of November. While other shops continued their lively trade in handbags, jewelry and cell phones, the light in Jina Amini's was out.
The 22-year-old still lived with her parents in a lovely two-story house in a middle class district of Saqqez. She had had her driver's license for a while and loved driving. But as a young unmarried woman, driving to work on her own was likely out of the question.Jina's aunt, Aliya Aili, traveled from Norway to Saqqez in the summer of 2022. She recalls how Jina repeatedly told her to cover herself and showed her how to wear her headscarf.
But in Iran, Jina Amini was subject to a different set of rules. Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, she had to cover her hair and neck with a hijab, conceal her figure with loose fitting clothes and ensure no skin was visible from her wrist to her ankle.Jina Amini was born on September 21, 1999. Speaking on the phone from Saqqez, her grandfather Rahman Aili says not a day went by that they didn't see or at least talk to each other.
Jina's last trip was about her future. The family had traveled together to Urmia, a city in northwestern Iran, to enroll her at university, where she was to study biology.
