Sarina Esmailzadeh (July 2, 2006 – September 21, 2022) was a 16-year-old Iranian YouTuber from Mehrshahr, Karaj. She was killed by baton blows to the head from security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the 2022 protests. Sarina was a student at Farzanegan School in Karaj, living with her brother and ill mother after losing her father in 2013. On the day before her death, she wrote, "My homeland smells like exile." Sarina's tragic death is a stark reminder of the regime's cruelty, as even children are not spared from their brutal repression.
