Revolutionary Guards' papers passed to the BBC give chilling details of Nika Shakarami’s last movements.

An Iranian teenager was sexually assaulted and killed by three men working for Iran’s security forces, a leaked document understood to have been written by those forces says.

It has let us map what happened to 16-year-old Nika Shakarami who vanished from an anti-regime protest in 2022.

Her body was found nine days later. The government claimed she killed herself.

We put the report’s allegations to Iran’s government and its Revolutionary Guards. They did not respond.

Marked “Highly Confidential”, the report summarises a hearing on Nika’s case held by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - the security force that defends the country’s Islamic establishment. It includes what it says are the names of her killers and the senior commanders who tried to hide the truth.

      I dont know, does your prison system allow for the rape of virgins who have received the death penalty because otherwise theyd to heaven? Have you ever picked up a rapper who critized the government, tortured him, released him and when he spoke up about his torture, the üolice arrested him again and sentenced him to death? Y’alls police ever shot a bystander to protest in the stomach and then killed anyone who tried to help her? Police ever busted a police violence victims funeral by killing attendants? Because the fucking iranian basij force did all of that within the last year.

      Yeah american police is probably in the bottom 5 of western police forces, but its not “shooting 1,500 people in the streets because they didnt like gas price hike” bad.

        What the fuck is the point of ranking police violence other than to beat your own chest and feel smug?

        It’s dawning on me that many of the people using this tragedy to make comparisons are likely male.

      WTF is wrong with you? Your entire response entirely dismisses this young persons tragic, horrific demise. Just so you can throw out ‘we are soooo much better’ to make yourself feel some sort of twisted triumph??

      Have the decency to give each tragedy the respect it deserves or just stfu. Have the decency to read her story and know her name instead of sweeping her existence away to suit your needs.

      Fuck this Iranian regime. Fuck gross backwards ass patriarchal bs wherever it exists.

        Yet the person they responded too wants to make it a political issue in america acting like there is any party interested to establish islamism. They use a racist dog whistle and you are here attacking the person calling them out. “Oh if you dont vote these evil Muslims will establish the morality police here”

          I think he’s more talking about US Republicans wanting to have genital inspectors to enforce their new laws.

        Their comment does not dismiss anything going on in Iran, as a matter of fact the dude is talking about the US. you’re somehow deflecting from their point and becoming outraged at something they never even said.

          My point is why bring up the US. This story isn’t about the US. This has to do with Iran brutally crushing the Iranian women’s rights movement that rose up in 2020, “Woman, Life, Freedom”.

          By turning the convo to the US and policing in the US, you end up minimizing their plight and this young woman’s story.
