Martyred Minab students honored on Girls’ Day

A theatrical event staged across Iran honored memory of martyred students of Minab on National Girls’ Day.

A nationwide theatrical event titled ‘In Memory of the Celebration of Angels’, as a part of the ‘To Which Sin?’ initiative, has been staged across Iran on National Girls’ Day to honor the memory of the martyred students of Minab.

The event, held by the Soore-ye Omid Institute in collaboration with the Sooreh Center for Dramatic Arts, saw more than 200 young female artists performing simultaneously on street stages throughout the country.

The performances served as a centerpiece for a large national gathering of Iranian girls, characterized by a spiritual atmosphere as student performers appeared in their prayer veils, symbolizing purity and devotion.

‌The event offered several significant plays, including ‘Angels of Minab’, ‘Girls of Minab’, and ‘To Which Sin?’, aimed to unite the country’s children and adolescent theater community under a single message of empathy, hope, and the enduring sacrifice of the future generation.

‌The artistic initiative is a continuation of a national campaign called ‘Empathic Iran’. It was launched to commemorate the young students martyred in the Minab tragedy and to offer solidarity to their grieving families.

‌The movement began on April 3, marking the 40th day since the tragic passing of the little angels. Over the past ten days, the campaign has held more than 25 theatrical performances by selected groups across 21 provinces.

The synchronized performances have been praised for using the medium of street theater to bridge the gap between social tragedy and cultural resilience, fostering a sense of national unity and remembrance.

The theatrical event is part of the same broader artistic project designed by the Soore-ye Omid Institute, which earlier unveiled a multilingual collection under the same title in Persian, Arabic and English.

The initiatives aim to honor the memory of the Minab schoolchildren and other child victims of the recent aggression against Iran, while presenting their innocence and suffering through different artistic forms.

National Girls' Day in Iran, a significant occasion celebrated annually on the birth anniversary of Hazrat Fatemeh Masumeh (SA), the esteemed sister of Imam Reza (AS), serves as a tribute to the dignity, potential, and vibrant spirit of young women across the country.

On February 28, the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan Province, became the site of a devastating massacre as the US and Israel initiated their strikes against Iran.

While dozens of girls and boys aged between 7 and 12 were beginning their lessons, the school was targeted by a missile strike that caused the building to collapse, trapping children and teachers beneath the rubble. Iranian authorities confirmed a final death toll of 168 people, with at least 95 others wounded, marking one of the most harrowing incidents of the conflict's opening day.
