“Helna Gholami,” the Asian Kyokushin Karate champion, is now immortalized in the memory of the Iranian people with the title “Martyr”; a girl who left with a smile and returned with a sacred name: “Martyr Helna Gholami!”

A small village, big hearts, and profound grief…

On a sorrowful yet unforgettable morning, a gentle breeze swept through the streets of the village of Sarnamak, but the hearts of the people were heavy with deep sorrow—a sorrow intertwined with pride, honor, and dignity, turning the village into a mirror of unity, solidarity, and resistance.

A magnificent and indescribable ceremony was held to honor the young martyr Helna Gholami, a 12-year-old girl who, after years of dedication in sports and earning international accolades, was martyred in the brutal attack by the Zionist regime. The ceremony was attended by a large gathering of people, officials, and athletes.
