On Thursday, March 6, 2025, a woman in Naqadeh — one of the southern cities in West
Azerbaijan province — was killed by her son. According to domestic media reports, the
75-year-old victim died as a result of a severe blow to her head. Although the
perpetrator has been arrested, neither his nor the victim’s identity has been disclosed.
The motive for the crime has been labeled as “family dispute.”
The term family dispute is often used by state-affiliated or state-friendly media to portray
such murders as private matters and to deny the government’s role in these tragedies.
Meanwhile, government media systematically promote anti-women rhetoric under the
guise of “religious teachings.”
