| Submission declined on 12 November 2024 by MarcGarver (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Mahdieh Ghavi (November 23, 1999 – January 8, 2020) was an Iranian student and one of the victims of the downing of Flight PS752. She was pursuing her education in biology at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Canada, when she lost her life in the incident. Ghavi’s death, along with that of her sister, Masoumeh Ghavi, has become emblematic of the broader pursuit of accountability and justice for the victims of Flight PS752.
Early Life and Education
[edit]Mahdieh Ghavi was born on November 23, 1999, in Tehran, Iran. She demonstrated academic excellence from a young age and initially pursued studies in pharmacy in Iran. With the support of her elder sister, Masoumeh Ghavi, Mahdieh transitioned to studying biology at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Canada. She planned to build a career in the sciences, with aspirations of contributing to medical research.[1]
Connection to Flight PS752
[edit]On January 8, 2020, Mahdieh Ghavi was aboard Flight PS752 with her sister, Masoumeh, en route to Canada following a holiday visit to Iran. The aircraft was downed by surface-to-air missiles launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport. All 176 passengers and crew on board were killed.[2]
Legacy and Advocacy
[edit]On January 8, 2020, Mahdieh Ghavi, along with her sister and 174 others, perished when Flight PS752 was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport. In the wake of the tragedy, family members and international organizations, including the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims, have advocated for transparency and justice regarding the crime. The Ghavi sisters' deaths have come to symbolize the pursuit of accountability and remembrance for those lost in the downing of the civilian flight.[3][4]
Mahdieh and Masoumeh are buried together in the yard of Imamzadeh Saleh in Tajrish, Tehran, where their resting place serves as a site of remembrance.[1]
Context and Broader Impact
[edit]The downing of Flight PS752 occurred amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States following the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani by a U.S. drone strike on January 3, 2020. This incident has been widely condemned internationally, and human rights organizations have criticized the lack of transparency in Iran's investigation of the attack.[3]
