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.
That so called regime is a travesty. Hope the Iranian people can some day be free.
They won’t be able to topple the regime without outside assistance.
Unfortunately they’re brown, so they don’t get a blank check from the United States like Ukraine and Israel.
Brown people have to solve their own problems, or else it’s colonization.
No they’re left wing compared to their government so they won’t get us assistance. Who do you think helped overthrow the liberal government of Iran?
But also Iran is a nuclear power and unhinged

In something of a cultural paradox, Iran is worse on LGB rights but significantly better on T rights than its western peers. So stark is the contrast that cis-gay men and women are often under pressure to transition in an attempt to become more socially acceptable to social conservatives in power.
But also Iran is a nuclear power and unhinged
If you compare the Israeli response to October 7th with the Iranian response to Israeli’s bombing of their Syrian embassy or the US slaying of their General-turned-Ambassador Qasem Soleimani, I’d say they are some of the most hinged residents in the region.
They also haven’t successfully conducted a nuclear test to date. They have ballistic missiles with traditional munitions, and they have some hypersonic rockets that have outclassed western missile defense systems (as evidenced by the post-embassy retaliation into the Israeli desert). But their nuclear capacity isn’t even at North Korean tier, largely thanks to their lack of enrichable uranium.
If you compare blah blah
Please pull more BS out of thin air. The most hinged house in the neighborhood is Iran? Get real.
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
Entire thread filled with Islamophobia
Yep, it’s Reddit time
Based, but where did it say “Original documents and/or evidence cannot be shown”
This is a reproduction of the original document (omitting some information that could potentially identify the source)
Hey, do you mind putting that in the top level comment instead of the “no source” claim. Thanks.
And no, I don’t like the BBC. But what you have done is disingenuous as fuck.
Why minimize the death of a protestor for a movement most of the world agrees with? It’s kind of heartless.
Pointing out that consent is manufactured is minimizing?
I mean. BBC is a legitimate news source, the girl is dead, Iran has a serious problem with thier morality police force, and as a country hasn’t responded well with their internal protests against the morality police.
I weigh all those truths against a random person trying to be edgy on the internet, and I think your babble doesn’t really hold much weight.
So, chances are she killed herself? I don’t get what you’re trying to say… like, this article is lying?
Two things can be true at once.
Israel is a nasty religiously-driven nation committing genocide in the name of Judaism.
Iran is a nasty religiously-driven nation committing atrocities against it’s own citizens in the name of Islam.
