Mourning Mothers
The Mourning Mothers (also known as the Mothers of Laleh Park; Persian: مادران پارک لاله, romanized: madaran park laleh) are a group of Iranian women whose spouses or children were killed by government agents in the protests following the disputed Iranian presidential election of 2009. The group also includes relatives of victims of earlier human rights abuses, including mass executions during the 1980s.
