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.
This thread is filled with too many chest beating men who typically make it about themselves, completely minimizing this young woman's life and the crushing of the women's rights movement in Iran.
Chest beating comparisons to American politics, or ranking police violence in the world, dehumanizing islamaphobic remarks, some by opportunistic supporters of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

Secret documents acquired by <Western news agency that spread Zionist propaganda before> showing <Country/Group Israel currently doesn't like> sexually violating female. Original documents and/or evidence cannot be shown
Unfortunately unsurprising. Many such stories emerged, though many unconfirmed, at the time. The Iranian security forces were terrified that they might have to answer for their crimes to an angry populace, and so became more wretched and cruel than usual.
Homie don't play that shit in the middle east.. Maybe some of these protesters (both sides) will nut up and head to the old Holy Land they are so passionate about and see what it's like outside terrible Merica
