Following the unanimous vote during the 7 June meeting of the Paris Council, the Villemin Garden will bear the name of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Kurd whose murder at the hands of the Iranian morality police in September 2022 provoked the “Jin Jiyad Azadi” uprising in Iran.

The inauguration chaired by the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, is scheduled for September 2023, on the first anniversary of Jina Amini’s killing.

On 11 October 2022, the Council of Paris awarded honorary citizenship to Jina Mahsa Amini, "and through her, to Iranian women fighting for their rights," as the motivation read.
