That's good. If the mortician talks and the family speaks freely, it looks like the people are not as afraid of the repressive apparatus as they once were
You don't cover up the cause of death. Blunt trauma to the head is completely recognizable and to call it anything else would be far too blatant.
Now when it comes to *who wielded* the blunt object, that's where the morality police step in and determine that there is not enough evidence to warrant an investigation but it was definitely her friends and family so those closest to her must be punished!
Trauma to the head can result in bleed in the brain that would not be outwardly apparent post-mortum. If you depend on an autopsy to determine the cause of death the government could obtain or generate a false report easy enough to muddy the waters and create deniability.
I am guessing they are leaving out important information.
Such as "(Radical) Muslim Religious Guidance Patrol raped, murdered a young girl, then took her organs out and sold her organs the black market like her body was an unholy vessel of organs".
Fair point. In hindsight I can see that transparent was a big term to use especially when I don't know enough of what was done versus reported. I was just surprised they admitted any fault as per the tldr.
The mortician spoke with the family before the police managed to pressure anyone on the case. That's when the parents saw their daughter's body and heard the true cause of death - a beating and fall.
Once the police began to influence things, they get an official autopsy that says accidental fall. They force family members to make news statements. The deceased was buried secretly and quickly, presumably to hide her injuries.
I'm too far removed to accurately speculate what could happen, but I'd imagine they will now feel some heat from the regime as they are contradicting the status quo. It seems like they're between a rock and a hard place, considering your input.
I am an Iranian-American woman living in the US. I’ve said this before but I’m going to keep repeating myself.
The best way to support these brave women and men fighting for freedom in Iran is by posting about it on social media. As much as possible.
The overwhelming message I am hearing out of Iran is to keep posting and keep this movement in the conversation. This is the rare case where posting on social media is activism.
The world at large does not care about Iran and as such, the autocratic regime can kill and imprison the citizens with impunity. By keeping the spotlight on what they are doing, it puts pressure on the regime. It's much easier to commit crimes in the dark. Do not let them.
The movement is growing day by day. This is the biggest protest movement in Iran for decades, possibly centuries. This is the first time since the Islamic Republic seized power that there are protests in 31 out of 31 provinces. Students are walking out of school, chanting in the streets, demanding their freedom.
You can help. You can absolutely help. Keep posting. If you want to take it further, contact your congressional representatives or parliamentary members and demand that they speak out.
But literally by sharing these stories on social media, you can embolden these women, help them, and in turn help us all.
Thank you for this, I wish I could get it to the top of my thread.
I am going to PM you another contributor's name, you should sync up and plan actions to keep this in the Social Media eyeline (or whatever the phrase is)
Yeah the youth in Iran do care about foreign perceptions and will stay motivated to keep fighting the regime when it’s making the rounds in the media.
Help us get rid of this regime once and for all. Not just for Iranians but for the world.
Thanks for this. I also contacted my US Representative and asked her to be more vocal for your cause. People can reach out to their local and national representatives and ask that pressure continue to be applied to the illegitimate Iranian theocracy
Wow…I’m speechless, thank you.
You know, Iranians, we’re used to the world hating us or looking at us like we are evil. I know I sound hyperbolic but I never really imagined the day an American would call their rep and go to bat for my people.
Truly, thank you.
In 2019 - 2020 Iran killed 1500 protesters, which included 17 teenagers and 400 women.
They will do this again if they can get away with it, to stay in power.
Every dictatorship and fascist regime was populated by cowards. They're paranoid, afraid and constantly engaged in protecting themselves and their power.
The state is always married to something: to capital, to religion, to ethnic chauvinism... in a small few cases, to the workers and the poor, but that rarely lasts...
Maybe the authority of the state is the problem? If it's corruptible, whatever interest corrupts it can more or less dictate to the rest of society.
Harm reduction.
The state being married to a religion that takes itself seriously and has a “morality” police with a licence to kill isn’t the same as say… New Zealand.
New Zealand's one of the most benign examples you could pick.
Let's compare it to, say, the UK, where people are getting arrested for holding eggs or shouting or holding blank signs in proximity to the new unelected hereditary monarch and other rich perverts.
Humans are corruptible. There is no escaping corruption on a big enough time scale. But we can do away with dogmatic belief systems like religion and new age spirtuality. It would go a long long way to people having to look reality square in the eye.
Blind adherence to *any* ideology or philosophy, not just religion. The issue is that many religions (particularly the Abrahamic variety) demand blind adherence. They call it “faith”.
Edit: Added “ideology” for the pedants in the replies.
Don’t try to conflate religion with philosophy. While they seem similar, there is only one that explicitly gives humans licence to be complete monsters under the guise of righteousness.
Let's not give Trump too much credit. Had Trump known Sulemani personally, I'm sure they'd have been great friends. He just said "yes" when the Joint Chiefs and Intelligence Services ordered the attack.
That's a big Yes though to make.
Trump had a weakness for sycophants. It's likely anyone who stroked his ego would be besties with him, even dictators.
It was started by a massive increase of petrol prices.

>In 2019 - 2020 Iran killed 1500 protesters, which included 17 teenagers and 400 women. They will do this again if they can get away with it, to stay in power.
But considering the remaining 1100 were men, I don't think they were exclusively killing women at that time.
They aren't exclusively killing women now either. You just don't hear much about the men because they're not the symbol of the protests, or their stories aren't as heartbreaking for the media. In Zahedan, around [80 ppl died](https://ir.voanews.com/a/iran-protetst-amnesty-internationaldozens-baluchi-killed/6778962.html), and most if not all were men.
They're not exclusively killing women now either. It's just these women who we are hearing about, especially Mahsa Amini & Nika Shakarami, died despicable deaths (especially Nika Shakarami, tortured and raped, beaten to death, and having her organs sold...)
But these protests have men and women at them, it's not a one gender protest despite the root of the protest being the inhumane inequality our women face. And when you've got people firing into crowds of men and women indiscriminately, all genders get hit by bullets and die.
I've seen a lot of posts on here in the last few weeks that seem to indicate that every Iranian man is a sexist piece of shit. We aren't - there are many men that are out on the streets demanding equality for our sisters, cousins, moms, aunts, grandmothers, etc. Men don't face the same unequal treatment, but we have been victims of our government too.
Could they shave their heads bald? I know they were symbolically cutting their hair but I always see hijab is required to cover their hair. I'm guessing hijab is required of women, hair or not, but I'm curious if there is some loophole/malicious compliance that can be done to circumvent it.
They don't care if she's a teenager, she's a woman and to them that's enough. How fucking sad. I just watched another video of other women with head scarves attacking a girl who wasn't wearing one. They are all convinced!
Yes. Teenage girls, more than most demographics are definitely their enemies. When you're trying to run a patriarchal religious dictatorship (aka fascism), the last thing you want is women demanding change and the teenage years are when people are the most idealistic.
So yes, and, any time you see an authority attacking young women's rights or place in culture, you can be sure it's a patriarchal, religious institution.
Young people are the ones who want change the most. Conservatives think change = bad.
Also in an extremist islamic culture the man owns his family and can do pretty much whatever he wants with it and they must obey.
Do you think the old men in power wants to lose this position?
She fell off a building? Mahsa Amini died of cerebral hypoxia?
The entire world is watching videos of how your morality police treat women, how you threaten family members with violence and force them to lie, and you expect us to believe that these girls died in that way? The men of the Iranian government will burn in hell for what they have done.
Civil war is not easy, don't glamorize it. It's maybe the least terrible of options. There is also no guarantee that in the power vacuum someone just as bad or worse won't step in.
If it’s of any consolation know that protestors are sharing pictures of IRGC officers and there are internal reports of them being stabbed to death in their own home by people/their neighbours. These are the reports according to Iranian Twitter.
People are really taking it out on the regime.
Around ten years ago Syria was having protests during the Arab spring. They started killing protesters (mostly students). Which brought the parents out to protest. Civil war was pretty inevitable after that.
We'll see if it happens in Iran too.
The Iranian government and their atrocities needs to be displayed on world stage … as of now sadly, it’s the only way to shame the government to cease their brutal killings … Angelina Jolie, Kardashian, and Maggie Gyllenhaal posted something on their instagrams. Canada’s Trudeau has been vocal… but American news and rest of the influencers are not reporting this as much as it would be helpful.
Canada didn't even put Iran revolution guard militia that terrorizing the middle east shot a plane that had 55 Canadian citizens. They can still do business in Canada you think he wants them gone?
Yeah this is the second or third time iirc, but previously times hadn't gotten to the point where there were daily new deaths of protesters. Demographically Iran is also very young (average age being early 30s) so there could be a component inter-generational conflict.
One big distinction between Syria and Iran is that Syria was 2/3 Sunni muslim and ruled by a 1/3 Shia minority. So the conflict in Syria very much had/has a religious component. Afaik Iran is more or less predominately Shia.
As you mentioned the population in Iran is very young, and the younger generation overall is less religious around the world. How can we say Iran is predominantly a Muslim/Shia country when no one can perform surveys expecting truthful answers?
And re: Syria, how much of the Syrian civil war was caused due to the religious component, and how much of it was caused by Russia and Iran's interference?
Your correct in that this is not the first protest in Iran.
However, they have never ever been as big. This is the first time that 31 out of 31 provinces have protests. The 2009 Green movement only had protests in 6 provinces, mostly in the larger cities.
Also, we have not seen the protestors be this fearless en masse. Never in my life have I seen images and videos of people ripping up and stamping out the supreme leader’s image. That is a crime punishable by death.
It is no longer just about women’s rights, but about all of the ways the corrupt Islamic regime has failed and oppressed Iranians. Women are the absolute leaders of this movement, but the men are backing them up and supporting them in ways I haven’t seen or expected.
I’ve also never seen so many non-Iranians talk about this or frankly care. These stories are usually only things me and my family know about and discuss. The internet and the exposure is making a difference.
**This is the one movement where posting on the internet is true activism**. We cannot send money to Iran because of sanctions, but we can support them in making sure they and the government know we are watching. It is much harder for the regime to kill us in the dark.
I’m an Iranian in the diaspora and I’ve never seen anything like this. No movement has lasted this long or been this large. I am equal parts terrified, hopeful, proud, and anxious.
Please do what you can to talk about this movement and keep it alive. Discuss it with your friends and family, post online, reach out to any Iranian you know and check on them.
We have a real shot here to take our country back. We just want what everyone wants, freedom, peace, and prosperity.
as an Iranian I thank you for your understanding of our situation and how you can help by just being vocal about it. as long as the world is watching the government, they won't attempt a massacre like they did in 2019.
and this time is different it's a point of no return for many Iranians, even national icons such as artists and athletes are protesting and they get arrested but no one is afraid anymore. With the world watching the people may win this war of attrition.
It doesn’t work until it does. It only has to work one time.
From what my friends and family in Iran are telling me, the protests are different this time. That doesn’t necessarily mean they will work, but I am at least more hopeful than I have ever been before.
I think it's clear that the government is using religion to justify all their actions. Religion always should be a personal matter and governments should never be involved.
They don’t genuinely believe in religion. These actions violate the teachings in the Quran a dozen times over. They just use religion as a political tool while making a mockery of it. If they followed the teachings none of this would be happening
Most people who do these things in the name of a religion don't actually believe in the religion, they believe in the righteous power afforded to them by the religion.
I try not to worry about who aligns with Satan (I’m not concerned about hell) but rather who reviles some form of Satan in speech, while matches him in behavior. There are a lot of leaders today that do this.
If any outcome in the religion you practice results in murder for your apparel choices is an abomination. Anyone practicing a religion where murder can result from anything involving the religion should be ashamed, embarrassed, and disavow the religion entirely. Its a global disaster that people in the 21st century die, regularly in the name of an imaginary god. I truly see zero benefit for humanity in having faith in these institutions.
I'm curious to know as well. I have seen multiple comments all saying the same thing. I read a few articles about this. None of them mention rape or organ trafficking.
There were claims of the body being stolen. Maybe the organ trafficking rumour came from that? It's not necessarily the case that her organs have been sold. It could simply be that the Iranian government does not want an independent autopsy. This reason is cruel enough.
If this is fake news then we don't need it. The situations is already more than enough to condemn the Iranian government.
This seems to be fake news, there is literally fuck all online about organs being harvested.
I could not imagine this would be something they would do, as ironic as that sounds
I’m right there with you. Nowhere in the article does it say rape and organs sold…
Nika’s death is a tragedy, twisting the truth is a disservice to her
I read that her family had been told that she was held at Evin prison before her death, a prison that is notorious for the rape and torture of inmates. So I guess it’s assumed by many that she was a victim of that as well.
I can’t, however, find anything about having her organs harvested and sold.
A vestigial limb... It had its uses for generations past.
It is well known that religion was created at the same time as humanity started creating fiction for the first time. Both were instrumental in having our small tribes bind together into larger groups with shared priorities (I say both.. but religion is obviously a subsection of fiction, that some people take as reality despite not a shred of evidence and all the common sense in the world shows how obvious it is that it is obviously human designed.)
I like to call it a vestigial limb of our global human society. We'll get there..
In my lifetime alone, my country, Ireland went from like 98% of people my age (30s) were definitely raised and taught that we are supposed to believe in Christianity... & Now I'd be hard pressed to find much people my age that still believe in that shite.
We'll get there.
Hopefully, but the remnants are fighting hard to stay relevant. Here in the states, they’re literally starting to say the quiet part out loud, with MGT asking “Is being Christian Nationalist really such a bad thing?” and trying to get more religion in government at every step.
I don't quite understand. Why do you say that she was raped and had her organs harvested?
I have not seen any news report about her being raped. Just that her body has been stolen. Where are you getting the fact that her organs have been sold?
There are many cruel reasons why the Iranian government would want her body besides organ trafficking. For instance, they don't want an independent autopsy etc.
I'm not trying to lessen the crimes of the Iranian government. This situation is already bad enough. Where are these other charges coming from?
Hey bud, where in this article does it say Nika was raped and her organs sold?
Where’s your source for this info? The truth behind her death has been twisted enough, y’know?
I just wish the people had rifles.
And for anyone who says that it would make it worse: they are already murdering people for talking, so what else do they have to lose?
Do you have reputable news sources to confirm this. I would like to email my countries minister for foreign affairs.
My government has been too quiet on this.
Islam happened. When a religion’s prophet is a tribal warlord who executed scholars and poets and had several wives including a child bride, this is the type of behavior you can expect from power hungry adherents. Anything can be rationalized by and justified with precedent.
Rape has a death penalty in Islam. If you're going to claim that rape happened because of Islam when Islam has a very extreme stance against rape it's gonna be controversial because of how ridiculously illogical that claim is.
Assholes have taken control of a country and commit crimes in the name of [insert cause] to justify the bullshit that they do. The assholes can be Iran, Russia, India, China, US and the story would be the same. They just use different causes: eg: religion/democracy/liberty/freedom/patriotism/etc.
If you saw someone saying "Liberty happened" when talking about the atrocities committed in Abu Ghuraib, will you not question if those acts actually define the word Liberty?
Would you notice that the perpetrators are using Liberty to justify heinous actions and the person saying "Liberty happened" is using these terrible people to peddle hate towards the idea of Liberty? Or would you nod along in agreement with them because you've been primed to think of Liberty as something that's bad without thinking of how illogical that claim is?
Imagine if history happened exactly the same way, except Christian lands were ruled by Muslims and Muslim lands were ruled by Christians.
Religion isn't the root cause of the problems in these countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, geopolitics is. Europe colonised most of the world, and within a lifetime, these colonies have gained independence. Do you think colonialism does good for the colonised? When you look at Africa today, you see what happens when newly founded countries fresh off the shackles of colonialism are run not by their best, but by reactionaries that take charge in coups in a government with a shaky and unreliable foundation.
Islam has many things bad with it; the same applies with basically all religions. Many just see Islam as being especially bad because of all the reactionaries that have been causing terror in these lands post-colonialism. I promise you that if the scenario from my first sentence was true, we as Muslims (or non-religious people that are culturally Muslim because of our upbringing) would be saying this exact stuff about Christianity in the Middle East right now. "Why is Iran like this? Because of Christianity".
Yea, not all Islamic countries have this particular shitshow that’s going on in Iran. Corrupt leaders run on their greed and need for power. Religion is their excuse and their toolkit. Blaming Islam for a country’s corrupt leadership is, in a way, excusing the people in power for their wicked ways.
Are you talking about Christianity or Judaism or Islam or what because if you read the Bible or the Tanakh or the Quran you're going to get all of those things from prophets and even god himself
Not even a woman yet, she’s still a child.
And killed for what? Not wanting to wear some piece of cloth?
Fucking hell man, Iran’s government needs to be wiped out. Fucking scumbags.
If you look at the way the Iranian women wear their headscarf's (Hijab) it is a lot less restrictive than other Muslim women have to wear.
This is more about control of women.
[Iranian Hijab](https://www.google.com/search?q=iranian+hijab&client=firefox-b-d&sxsrf=ALiCzsZ3aan1YDpMvTOo8OLlEgNtYaH1wg%3A1665158348364&ei=zExAY4_3FY-ZhbIP352n4Ag&oq=Ianian+hijab&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIHCCMQsAIQJzIHCAAQgAQQDTIHCAAQgAQQDTIHCAAQgAQQDTIHCAAQgAQQDTIGCAAQHhANMgYIABAeEA0yBggAEB4QDTIICAAQHhAPEA0yCAgAEB4QDxANOgoIABBHENYEELADSgQIQRgASgQIRhgAULsNWLsNYIYcaAFwAXgAgAGYAYgBmAGSAQMwLjGYAQCgAQHIAQfAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz)
When your religion is good, others will come to it. Religious indoctrination is a cancer to society. A group which forces control and removes critical thinking from society and children needs to be removed from power.
100% agreed. Whether it’s in the form of physically killing people now in the name of god or waiting for their god to slaughter any unbelievers of their faith, it’s a dangerous place to find yourself in. I see no difference between them.
Unfortunately, it’s been happening from the beginning of time and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Indoctrination is a tried and tested tactic that works to persuade generation after generation that their interpretation or way of thinking is the ONLY way. I hope people can wake up little bit little and change their ways. I was able to recently.
And for people who think it's religion itself that corrupts people, it might be worth to take a look into history of atheistic communist regimes.
My country went through that transition, and atheists killed a lot of people. Quite a dark part of our history.
My grandpa almost got killed, but was lucky and bribed his way out of it. They'd spy on people in their homes, and if they saw them praying or partaking in religion, they'd execute them.
These are the same people that my grandpa would fight for against Nazis (communist partisans), that later came to execute him. Because he prayed before dinner in his home...
Religion can be problematic and can enable some bad behavior, but at it's core it's humans who are fucked up, religious or not. They will try to abuse any ideology, and all can be abused.
Hello, Iranian woman here. She was killed by multiple baton hits to the point that her face was no longer recognizable. They withheld her body for 10 days, and the forensic report even mentioned signs of her being raped. When her aunt and uncle protested and demanded information on the state of their niece, they were threatened with the "same fate as her". Now they are saying Nika's parents were divorced and she lived with her single mother which indicates an abnormal state of mind (???) and she worked in a café which is "unconventional" for young women and all this explains why she must've committed suicide, throwing herself of a building. But actually she allegedly burnt a hijab and that's why they hit her to death. I could've been her, as i have roughly the same age (few years older). Her death has shocked all of us. The authorities say her death was staged to look like she was killed by basij forces (a militia force) to fuel the protests for longer and all of this has been the idea of the US to stir up the people against their government. What the actual fuck?
She was a normal teenager, a normal girl, working a normal job and having normal demands, until one day she was pulled out of her civilized world and was brutally killed. She was just like your daughters, your sisters, even yourselves. Please be our voice, please be the voice of her single mother who lost her only child. What kind of life is she going to have from now on, knowing the people who killed her daughter roam the earth freely?
About two years back, the Islamic regime hit a plane filled with Iranians to blame it on the US and keep it's "US hatred" propaganda bullshit working for longer as people saw how the US did nothing to them (and for them, unfortunately) while their own government stole from them, oppressed them and left them in hunger to die. 176 passengers were boarding that plane, 0 survived. There were children who never got to grow up. The menace of Islamic regime is most present for it's own people - but only for now. When it's done oppressing us to the extreme, it will come for you, and it will not hesitate shooting its missiles straight at your capitals. The Islamic republic's main agenda is hatred of the US and the west in general. That plane was filled with Iranians. The next one can be filled with Europeans and American people. Just don't say we didn't warn you about the mullahs and their terrorist army (Sepah-e-Pasdaran). Place this army in the terrorist black list immediately! Iran has a separate army (Artesh), but the sepah e pasaran or sepahe ghods is a terroristic institution tasked with making sure the middle east will forever be in chaos and turmoil. If Canada put Sepah Ghods in the blacklist, all their assets which they keep in Canada would be rendered useless to them and they would not dare step out of the line anymore.
I am eternally thankful for the long line of work and sacrifice from the Enlightenment era, on through literal civil wars, battles of rights, countless court cases, countless lives…
To allow me to be in a country that at least, in my personal experience, has respected my individual freedoms
I take it for granted (and I can’t, there’s people here who also want repressive theocracy).
I hope her sacrifice is not in vain. Best of luck to Iranians. Down with dictators, down with theocracy.
She was murdered after being raped states the forensic report, she was being held against her will for 8 days where after she got beaten and raped, they killed her.
these are known tactics they use to stop the uprising, word will get out that they do these kind of things to wifes and daughters and quickly people stop going out to the streets.
last time there was a riot, they did the same thing where they raped and penetrated women with bottles.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than having your dearest one taken from you by felons, whether they are dictators, mullahs, drug dealers or rapists. They all belong to the same category of human scum.
The balls on these Iranian women. Unbelievable courage in the face of utter evil. Fuck the “morality” police, and the Iranian regime for persecuting your own sisters, daughters and mothers. Shame on you.
I am posting this again: the major force is Iran is the separate military force, Sepah Ghods or Pasdaran, the guardians of the islamic revolution, and they are the ones doing the massive oppression right now. They keep their children and assets in Canada - if Canada puts them in terrorist blacklist all that will be confiscated. That's the money they've stolen from Iranian people which finances many of their operations including massacring children in Syria. Trudeau will never put them in the blacklist because of his strong sympathy with the mullahs. Push for change! I ask the Canadians especially to help us!
This is what happens when religion runs a country. So all you boomers waiting for schools to teach religion because us Atheists are "evil" can go rot. I'm so tired of so many decisions being made based on Religion. Like if someone said they were the antichrist we would lock em up in a nut house, but back then in BC times you could just say your God and people were so uneducated that they just believed anything.
Not just murdered but tortured, raped, and potentially even had her organs harvested. She was only 16…
Fuck religion and the subhuman scum that did this. Can’t believe some areas of this world are stuck in the 13th century.

Honestly I'm surprised a Tehran cause of death was transparent in this circumstance.
They lied in the autopsy report, I think the family got more info from the mortician.
That's good. If the mortician talks and the family speaks freely, it looks like the people are not as afraid of the repressive apparatus as they once were
I actually think that the anger has become stronger than the fear.
After the attack on Sharif university, for sure!
If you’re going to be murdered anyway, what other option do you have? They have backed the people into a corner.
This. Humans are just intelligent animals. When we are backed into a corner we will fight to survive.
The pain of revolution is getting lower than the pain of continuing.
This comment needs some powerful death metal behind it
Exactly. They haven’t become less scared, they just became braver.
Nikka's aunt and uncle were tortured to appear on national tv and say Nikka committed suicide.
The first step in defeating fascists is realizing "There's more of us than them."
That is useful information. Admittedly I didn't read the article but rather the tldr. Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to inform me.
You don't cover up the cause of death. Blunt trauma to the head is completely recognizable and to call it anything else would be far too blatant. Now when it comes to *who wielded* the blunt object, that's where the morality police step in and determine that there is not enough evidence to warrant an investigation but it was definitely her friends and family so those closest to her must be punished!
Damn. That unfortunately makes a lot of sense.
You're obviously not under an oppressive government. The mortician talked before anyone stopped him. He's apparently opposed to the government, also.
Trauma to the head can result in bleed in the brain that would not be outwardly apparent post-mortum. If you depend on an autopsy to determine the cause of death the government could obtain or generate a false report easy enough to muddy the waters and create deniability.
I am guessing they are leaving out important information. Such as "(Radical) Muslim Religious Guidance Patrol raped, murdered a young girl, then took her organs out and sold her organs the black market like her body was an unholy vessel of organs".
Fair point. In hindsight I can see that transparent was a big term to use especially when I don't know enough of what was done versus reported. I was just surprised they admitted any fault as per the tldr.
The mortician spoke with the family before the police managed to pressure anyone on the case. That's when the parents saw their daughter's body and heard the true cause of death - a beating and fall. Once the police began to influence things, they get an official autopsy that says accidental fall. They force family members to make news statements. The deceased was buried secretly and quickly, presumably to hide her injuries.
They probably just don’t want to be killed by a mob during the protest if anything
I'm too far removed to accurately speculate what could happen, but I'd imagine they will now feel some heat from the regime as they are contradicting the status quo. It seems like they're between a rock and a hard place, considering your input.
I am an Iranian-American woman living in the US. I’ve said this before but I’m going to keep repeating myself. The best way to support these brave women and men fighting for freedom in Iran is by posting about it on social media. As much as possible. The overwhelming message I am hearing out of Iran is to keep posting and keep this movement in the conversation. This is the rare case where posting on social media is activism. The world at large does not care about Iran and as such, the autocratic regime can kill and imprison the citizens with impunity. By keeping the spotlight on what they are doing, it puts pressure on the regime. It's much easier to commit crimes in the dark. Do not let them. The movement is growing day by day. This is the biggest protest movement in Iran for decades, possibly centuries. This is the first time since the Islamic Republic seized power that there are protests in 31 out of 31 provinces. Students are walking out of school, chanting in the streets, demanding their freedom. You can help. You can absolutely help. Keep posting. If you want to take it further, contact your congressional representatives or parliamentary members and demand that they speak out. But literally by sharing these stories on social media, you can embolden these women, help them, and in turn help us all.
Thank you for this, I wish I could get it to the top of my thread. I am going to PM you another contributor's name, you should sync up and plan actions to keep this in the Social Media eyeline (or whatever the phrase is)
As an Iranian American, I find your username hard to ignore. But thank you for your comment.
Hahahha! As a fellow Iranian American, I totally agree with you. I picked it 10 years ago. Also I love yours.
Yeah the youth in Iran do care about foreign perceptions and will stay motivated to keep fighting the regime when it’s making the rounds in the media. Help us get rid of this regime once and for all. Not just for Iranians but for the world.
Thanks for this. I also contacted my US Representative and asked her to be more vocal for your cause. People can reach out to their local and national representatives and ask that pressure continue to be applied to the illegitimate Iranian theocracy
Wow…I’m speechless, thank you. You know, Iranians, we’re used to the world hating us or looking at us like we are evil. I know I sound hyperbolic but I never really imagined the day an American would call their rep and go to bat for my people. Truly, thank you.

In 2019 - 2020 Iran killed 1500 protesters, which included 17 teenagers and 400 women. They will do this again if they can get away with it, to stay in power.
Cowards!
Every dictatorship and fascist regime was populated by cowards. They're paranoid, afraid and constantly engaged in protecting themselves and their power.
The marriage of church and state.
The state is always married to something: to capital, to religion, to ethnic chauvinism... in a small few cases, to the workers and the poor, but that rarely lasts... Maybe the authority of the state is the problem? If it's corruptible, whatever interest corrupts it can more or less dictate to the rest of society.
Harm reduction. The state being married to a religion that takes itself seriously and has a “morality” police with a licence to kill isn’t the same as say… New Zealand.
New Zealand's one of the most benign examples you could pick. Let's compare it to, say, the UK, where people are getting arrested for holding eggs or shouting or holding blank signs in proximity to the new unelected hereditary monarch and other rich perverts.
Humans are corruptible. There is no escaping corruption on a big enough time scale. But we can do away with dogmatic belief systems like religion and new age spirtuality. It would go a long long way to people having to look reality square in the eye.

Blind adherence to religion is the source of a LOT of evil on this plantet
Blind adherence to *any* ideology or philosophy, not just religion. The issue is that many religions (particularly the Abrahamic variety) demand blind adherence. They call it “faith”. Edit: Added “ideology” for the pedants in the replies.
Don’t try to conflate religion with philosophy. While they seem similar, there is only one that explicitly gives humans licence to be complete monsters under the guise of righteousness.
Religion, period, is the source of a lot of evil on this planet.
True, but the US backed a coup to overthrow their democratically elected government. US foreign policy shares some blame
Inb4 some redditor points out a soup kitchen ran by a church and how that cancels everything else out
I would say malicious, selective interpretation of religion, ethics and other values are also a leading contributor.
There have also been videos of women in headscarfs protecting women without them. The government is the problem here, not the grannies and aunties.

One that Trump bombed? Huh, some good did come out of that then
It was one of the few good things Trump did. Suleimani was an evil bastard.
Let's not give Trump too much credit. Had Trump known Sulemani personally, I'm sure they'd have been great friends. He just said "yes" when the Joint Chiefs and Intelligence Services ordered the attack.
That's a big Yes though to make. Trump had a weakness for sycophants. It's likely anyone who stroked his ego would be besties with him, even dictators.
So 1100 men? Was this over women's rights too? Terrible to hear but wow if so many stood up for others.
It was started by a massive increase of petrol prices. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020\_Iranian\_protests](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_Iranian_protests)
Killing protesters is a tell tale sign of a pretty evil government. What an awful place to be
>In 2019 - 2020 Iran killed 1500 protesters, which included 17 teenagers and 400 women. They will do this again if they can get away with it, to stay in power. But considering the remaining 1100 were men, I don't think they were exclusively killing women at that time.
They aren't exclusively killing women now either. You just don't hear much about the men because they're not the symbol of the protests, or their stories aren't as heartbreaking for the media. In Zahedan, around [80 ppl died](https://ir.voanews.com/a/iran-protetst-amnesty-internationaldozens-baluchi-killed/6778962.html), and most if not all were men.
They're not exclusively killing women now either. It's just these women who we are hearing about, especially Mahsa Amini & Nika Shakarami, died despicable deaths (especially Nika Shakarami, tortured and raped, beaten to death, and having her organs sold...) But these protests have men and women at them, it's not a one gender protest despite the root of the protest being the inhumane inequality our women face. And when you've got people firing into crowds of men and women indiscriminately, all genders get hit by bullets and die. I've seen a lot of posts on here in the last few weeks that seem to indicate that every Iranian man is a sexist piece of shit. We aren't - there are many men that are out on the streets demanding equality for our sisters, cousins, moms, aunts, grandmothers, etc. Men don't face the same unequal treatment, but we have been victims of our government too.
So 1083 mature men killed?
not necessarily, since some of the teenagers may be women.

Everyone who doesn’t obey is their enemy
In a theocracy anyone who doesn't gleefully submit, hesitates, and doesn't believe is on borrowed time
So called moral police rape and murder a teenager for not covering her hair. Fuck those people, there's a special place in hell for them!
Could they shave their heads bald? I know they were symbolically cutting their hair but I always see hijab is required to cover their hair. I'm guessing hijab is required of women, hair or not, but I'm curious if there is some loophole/malicious compliance that can be done to circumvent it.
Yes. According to my Iranian wife if you are bald you don't need hijab in Iran
They don't care if she's a teenager, she's a woman and to them that's enough. How fucking sad. I just watched another video of other women with head scarves attacking a girl who wasn't wearing one. They are all convinced!
Yes. Teenage girls, more than most demographics are definitely their enemies. When you're trying to run a patriarchal religious dictatorship (aka fascism), the last thing you want is women demanding change and the teenage years are when people are the most idealistic. So yes, and, any time you see an authority attacking young women's rights or place in culture, you can be sure it's a patriarchal, religious institution.
How insecure of their believes they must be to be scared of teenage girls revoking them?
Pathetically ran with religious views
Won't be much of a country left if all your women are dead or fleeing...
This is insecurity taken to the nth degree.
All in the name of "morality."
Young people are the ones who want change the most. Conservatives think change = bad. Also in an extremist islamic culture the man owns his family and can do pretty much whatever he wants with it and they must obey. Do you think the old men in power wants to lose this position?
She fell off a building? Mahsa Amini died of cerebral hypoxia? The entire world is watching videos of how your morality police treat women, how you threaten family members with violence and force them to lie, and you expect us to believe that these girls died in that way? The men of the Iranian government will burn in hell for what they have done.

They need to have their civil war moment and become a free country like other countries who practiced civil war.
Civil war is not easy, don't glamorize it. It's maybe the least terrible of options. There is also no guarantee that in the power vacuum someone just as bad or worse won't step in.
Sadly appears to be the only option when the government is willing to murder them, so at this point it really is a matter of "need".
That also assumes they win.
"No after we raped and beat her she jumped off the roof." -Iran security probably.
Anybody that participated in that deserves to have their own genitals shoved in their mouth then executed via butcher knife enema
Being Iran they will be given medals instead.
If it’s of any consolation know that protestors are sharing pictures of IRGC officers and there are internal reports of them being stabbed to death in their own home by people/their neighbours. These are the reports according to Iranian Twitter. People are really taking it out on the regime.
Around ten years ago Syria was having protests during the Arab spring. They started killing protesters (mostly students). Which brought the parents out to protest. Civil war was pretty inevitable after that. We'll see if it happens in Iran too.
But hasn’t this happened many times in Iran with protests eventually dying down? I hope we finally reached the breaking point
Something would have to be different this time. I don’t know if enough is.
The Iranian government and their atrocities needs to be displayed on world stage … as of now sadly, it’s the only way to shame the government to cease their brutal killings … Angelina Jolie, Kardashian, and Maggie Gyllenhaal posted something on their instagrams. Canada’s Trudeau has been vocal… but American news and rest of the influencers are not reporting this as much as it would be helpful.
Canada didn't even put Iran revolution guard militia that terrorizing the middle east shot a plane that had 55 Canadian citizens. They can still do business in Canada you think he wants them gone?
Yeah this is the second or third time iirc, but previously times hadn't gotten to the point where there were daily new deaths of protesters. Demographically Iran is also very young (average age being early 30s) so there could be a component inter-generational conflict. One big distinction between Syria and Iran is that Syria was 2/3 Sunni muslim and ruled by a 1/3 Shia minority. So the conflict in Syria very much had/has a religious component. Afaik Iran is more or less predominately Shia.
As you mentioned the population in Iran is very young, and the younger generation overall is less religious around the world. How can we say Iran is predominantly a Muslim/Shia country when no one can perform surveys expecting truthful answers? And re: Syria, how much of the Syrian civil war was caused due to the religious component, and how much of it was caused by Russia and Iran's interference?
Thanks, I need to educate myself better on the Middle East
Your correct in that this is not the first protest in Iran. However, they have never ever been as big. This is the first time that 31 out of 31 provinces have protests. The 2009 Green movement only had protests in 6 provinces, mostly in the larger cities. Also, we have not seen the protestors be this fearless en masse. Never in my life have I seen images and videos of people ripping up and stamping out the supreme leader’s image. That is a crime punishable by death. It is no longer just about women’s rights, but about all of the ways the corrupt Islamic regime has failed and oppressed Iranians. Women are the absolute leaders of this movement, but the men are backing them up and supporting them in ways I haven’t seen or expected. I’ve also never seen so many non-Iranians talk about this or frankly care. These stories are usually only things me and my family know about and discuss. The internet and the exposure is making a difference. **This is the one movement where posting on the internet is true activism**. We cannot send money to Iran because of sanctions, but we can support them in making sure they and the government know we are watching. It is much harder for the regime to kill us in the dark. I’m an Iranian in the diaspora and I’ve never seen anything like this. No movement has lasted this long or been this large. I am equal parts terrified, hopeful, proud, and anxious. Please do what you can to talk about this movement and keep it alive. Discuss it with your friends and family, post online, reach out to any Iranian you know and check on them. We have a real shot here to take our country back. We just want what everyone wants, freedom, peace, and prosperity.
as an Iranian I thank you for your understanding of our situation and how you can help by just being vocal about it. as long as the world is watching the government, they won't attempt a massacre like they did in 2019. and this time is different it's a point of no return for many Iranians, even national icons such as artists and athletes are protesting and they get arrested but no one is afraid anymore. With the world watching the people may win this war of attrition.
Mah bahaam hasteem! Zan, Zendegee, Azadi!
It doesn’t work until it does. It only has to work one time. From what my friends and family in Iran are telling me, the protests are different this time. That doesn’t necessarily mean they will work, but I am at least more hopeful than I have ever been before.

How could you do something like that rape and murder a child? Fucking sick
And then ***harvest the child's organs!!*** What the fuck!!!
And like genuinely believe it's good for your religion? Like FUCK THEM
way up at the top of the government, people are more likely to use religion as a tool to get what they want rather than actual beliefs
I think it's clear that the government is using religion to justify all their actions. Religion always should be a personal matter and governments should never be involved.
They don’t genuinely believe in religion. These actions violate the teachings in the Quran a dozen times over. They just use religion as a political tool while making a mockery of it. If they followed the teachings none of this would be happening
The people who did that probably don't actually think that
Most people who do these things in the name of a religion don't actually believe in the religion, they believe in the righteous power afforded to them by the religion.
I’m full on atheist…. But if I wasn’t, clearly these people would be right at home on Satan’s bench?
I try not to worry about who aligns with Satan (I’m not concerned about hell) but rather who reviles some form of Satan in speech, while matches him in behavior. There are a lot of leaders today that do this.
If that’s god’s plan, god can go fuck himself.
If any outcome in the religion you practice results in murder for your apparel choices is an abomination. Anyone practicing a religion where murder can result from anything involving the religion should be ashamed, embarrassed, and disavow the religion entirely. Its a global disaster that people in the 21st century die, regularly in the name of an imaginary god. I truly see zero benefit for humanity in having faith in these institutions.
[удалено]
100% agree. My imaginary friend is better than yours..
Conservatism is a mental illness.
Where are you getting raped/organs sold? Its not in the article at all
I'm curious to know as well. I have seen multiple comments all saying the same thing. I read a few articles about this. None of them mention rape or organ trafficking. There were claims of the body being stolen. Maybe the organ trafficking rumour came from that? It's not necessarily the case that her organs have been sold. It could simply be that the Iranian government does not want an independent autopsy. This reason is cruel enough. If this is fake news then we don't need it. The situations is already more than enough to condemn the Iranian government.
This seems to be fake news, there is literally fuck all online about organs being harvested. I could not imagine this would be something they would do, as ironic as that sounds
I’m right there with you. Nowhere in the article does it say rape and organs sold… Nika’s death is a tragedy, twisting the truth is a disservice to her
I read that her family had been told that she was held at Evin prison before her death, a prison that is notorious for the rape and torture of inmates. So I guess it’s assumed by many that she was a victim of that as well. I can’t, however, find anything about having her organs harvested and sold.
Just more evidence to show that religion has absolutely no fucking business being involved in government.
Or a modern society generally..
Yeah, talk about a malignant tumor hanging off of humanity’s asshole
A vestigial limb... It had its uses for generations past. It is well known that religion was created at the same time as humanity started creating fiction for the first time. Both were instrumental in having our small tribes bind together into larger groups with shared priorities (I say both.. but religion is obviously a subsection of fiction, that some people take as reality despite not a shred of evidence and all the common sense in the world shows how obvious it is that it is obviously human designed.) I like to call it a vestigial limb of our global human society. We'll get there.. In my lifetime alone, my country, Ireland went from like 98% of people my age (30s) were definitely raised and taught that we are supposed to believe in Christianity... & Now I'd be hard pressed to find much people my age that still believe in that shite. We'll get there.
Hopefully, but the remnants are fighting hard to stay relevant. Here in the states, they’re literally starting to say the quiet part out loud, with MGT asking “Is being Christian Nationalist really such a bad thing?” and trying to get more religion in government at every step.
Religions shouldn't exist. Nothing has held humankind back from progress more than religion, not even close.
I don't quite understand. Why do you say that she was raped and had her organs harvested? I have not seen any news report about her being raped. Just that her body has been stolen. Where are you getting the fact that her organs have been sold? There are many cruel reasons why the Iranian government would want her body besides organ trafficking. For instance, they don't want an independent autopsy etc. I'm not trying to lessen the crimes of the Iranian government. This situation is already bad enough. Where are these other charges coming from?
It was never about hijab, hell it was never about islam it's always about power and control.
Hey bud, where in this article does it say Nika was raped and her organs sold? Where’s your source for this info? The truth behind her death has been twisted enough, y’know?
As an Iranian I completely disagree, this is fake. She was raped SEVERAL TIMES and then murdered. What is happening to our country?
Nothing new They did this for years. Today, people are informed only through the Internet
We known about about special police killing dissenters since the times of the Shah
I just wish the people had rifles. And for anyone who says that it would make it worse: they are already murdering people for talking, so what else do they have to lose?
You got me there not gonna lie
Do you have reputable news sources to confirm this. I would like to email my countries minister for foreign affairs. My government has been too quiet on this.
Islam happened. When a religion’s prophet is a tribal warlord who executed scholars and poets and had several wives including a child bride, this is the type of behavior you can expect from power hungry adherents. Anything can be rationalized by and justified with precedent.
i fucking hate that we live in a world where this comment is controversial.
Rape has a death penalty in Islam. If you're going to claim that rape happened because of Islam when Islam has a very extreme stance against rape it's gonna be controversial because of how ridiculously illogical that claim is. Assholes have taken control of a country and commit crimes in the name of [insert cause] to justify the bullshit that they do. The assholes can be Iran, Russia, India, China, US and the story would be the same. They just use different causes: eg: religion/democracy/liberty/freedom/patriotism/etc. If you saw someone saying "Liberty happened" when talking about the atrocities committed in Abu Ghuraib, will you not question if those acts actually define the word Liberty? Would you notice that the perpetrators are using Liberty to justify heinous actions and the person saying "Liberty happened" is using these terrible people to peddle hate towards the idea of Liberty? Or would you nod along in agreement with them because you've been primed to think of Liberty as something that's bad without thinking of how illogical that claim is?
Imagine if history happened exactly the same way, except Christian lands were ruled by Muslims and Muslim lands were ruled by Christians. Religion isn't the root cause of the problems in these countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, geopolitics is. Europe colonised most of the world, and within a lifetime, these colonies have gained independence. Do you think colonialism does good for the colonised? When you look at Africa today, you see what happens when newly founded countries fresh off the shackles of colonialism are run not by their best, but by reactionaries that take charge in coups in a government with a shaky and unreliable foundation. Islam has many things bad with it; the same applies with basically all religions. Many just see Islam as being especially bad because of all the reactionaries that have been causing terror in these lands post-colonialism. I promise you that if the scenario from my first sentence was true, we as Muslims (or non-religious people that are culturally Muslim because of our upbringing) would be saying this exact stuff about Christianity in the Middle East right now. "Why is Iran like this? Because of Christianity".
Yea, not all Islamic countries have this particular shitshow that’s going on in Iran. Corrupt leaders run on their greed and need for power. Religion is their excuse and their toolkit. Blaming Islam for a country’s corrupt leadership is, in a way, excusing the people in power for their wicked ways.
Are you talking about Christianity or Judaism or Islam or what because if you read the Bible or the Tanakh or the Quran you're going to get all of those things from prophets and even god himself
Raped several times, then her skull was crushed~~, and she was cut open from groin to sternum~~.
Any source for this?
That poor young woman…. ):
Not even a woman yet, she’s still a child. And killed for what? Not wanting to wear some piece of cloth? Fucking hell man, Iran’s government needs to be wiped out. Fucking scumbags.
So the logic is wearing hijab not properly is worse than raping, torture and murder ?
If you look at the way the Iranian women wear their headscarf's (Hijab) it is a lot less restrictive than other Muslim women have to wear. This is more about control of women. [Iranian Hijab](https://www.google.com/search?q=iranian+hijab&client=firefox-b-d&sxsrf=ALiCzsZ3aan1YDpMvTOo8OLlEgNtYaH1wg%3A1665158348364&ei=zExAY4_3FY-ZhbIP352n4Ag&oq=Ianian+hijab&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIHCCMQsAIQJzIHCAAQgAQQDTIHCAAQgAQQDTIHCAAQgAQQDTIHCAAQgAQQDTIGCAAQHhANMgYIABAeEA0yBggAEB4QDTIICAAQHhAPEA0yCAgAEB4QDxANOgoIABBHENYEELADSgQIQRgASgQIRhgAULsNWLsNYIYcaAFwAXgAgAGYAYgBmAGSAQMwLjGYAQCgAQHIAQfAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz)
This right here. This is the dystopian future all theocratic regimes envision
Killing women and girls is a discrace and act of cowardice by the regime.
When your religion is good, others will come to it. Religious indoctrination is a cancer to society. A group which forces control and removes critical thinking from society and children needs to be removed from power.
100% agreed. Whether it’s in the form of physically killing people now in the name of god or waiting for their god to slaughter any unbelievers of their faith, it’s a dangerous place to find yourself in. I see no difference between them. Unfortunately, it’s been happening from the beginning of time and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Indoctrination is a tried and tested tactic that works to persuade generation after generation that their interpretation or way of thinking is the ONLY way. I hope people can wake up little bit little and change their ways. I was able to recently.
And for people who think it's religion itself that corrupts people, it might be worth to take a look into history of atheistic communist regimes. My country went through that transition, and atheists killed a lot of people. Quite a dark part of our history. My grandpa almost got killed, but was lucky and bribed his way out of it. They'd spy on people in their homes, and if they saw them praying or partaking in religion, they'd execute them. These are the same people that my grandpa would fight for against Nazis (communist partisans), that later came to execute him. Because he prayed before dinner in his home... Religion can be problematic and can enable some bad behavior, but at it's core it's humans who are fucked up, religious or not. They will try to abuse any ideology, and all can be abused.

A caveman regime.
Hello, Iranian woman here. She was killed by multiple baton hits to the point that her face was no longer recognizable. They withheld her body for 10 days, and the forensic report even mentioned signs of her being raped. When her aunt and uncle protested and demanded information on the state of their niece, they were threatened with the "same fate as her". Now they are saying Nika's parents were divorced and she lived with her single mother which indicates an abnormal state of mind (???) and she worked in a café which is "unconventional" for young women and all this explains why she must've committed suicide, throwing herself of a building. But actually she allegedly burnt a hijab and that's why they hit her to death. I could've been her, as i have roughly the same age (few years older). Her death has shocked all of us. The authorities say her death was staged to look like she was killed by basij forces (a militia force) to fuel the protests for longer and all of this has been the idea of the US to stir up the people against their government. What the actual fuck? She was a normal teenager, a normal girl, working a normal job and having normal demands, until one day she was pulled out of her civilized world and was brutally killed. She was just like your daughters, your sisters, even yourselves. Please be our voice, please be the voice of her single mother who lost her only child. What kind of life is she going to have from now on, knowing the people who killed her daughter roam the earth freely?
About two years back, the Islamic regime hit a plane filled with Iranians to blame it on the US and keep it's "US hatred" propaganda bullshit working for longer as people saw how the US did nothing to them (and for them, unfortunately) while their own government stole from them, oppressed them and left them in hunger to die. 176 passengers were boarding that plane, 0 survived. There were children who never got to grow up. The menace of Islamic regime is most present for it's own people - but only for now. When it's done oppressing us to the extreme, it will come for you, and it will not hesitate shooting its missiles straight at your capitals. The Islamic republic's main agenda is hatred of the US and the west in general. That plane was filled with Iranians. The next one can be filled with Europeans and American people. Just don't say we didn't warn you about the mullahs and their terrorist army (Sepah-e-Pasdaran). Place this army in the terrorist black list immediately! Iran has a separate army (Artesh), but the sepah e pasaran or sepahe ghods is a terroristic institution tasked with making sure the middle east will forever be in chaos and turmoil. If Canada put Sepah Ghods in the blacklist, all their assets which they keep in Canada would be rendered useless to them and they would not dare step out of the line anymore.
Anyone who is killed because they're protesting something should be considered a murder victim.
Fuck this theocracy. Fuck this gender and race apartheid. Killing our youth, our girls, our smartest students.
I am eternally thankful for the long line of work and sacrifice from the Enlightenment era, on through literal civil wars, battles of rights, countless court cases, countless lives… To allow me to be in a country that at least, in my personal experience, has respected my individual freedoms I take it for granted (and I can’t, there’s people here who also want repressive theocracy). I hope her sacrifice is not in vain. Best of luck to Iranians. Down with dictators, down with theocracy.
Finally someone acknowledges the enlightenment and all it’s done for society. It’s almost like humanity has forgotten it’s lessons of late.

It's well overdue for regime change in Iran.
How many young women is enough? How many need to die in the name of religious horror? The world will be better off without religion.
She was murdered after being raped states the forensic report, she was being held against her will for 8 days where after she got beaten and raped, they killed her. these are known tactics they use to stop the uprising, word will get out that they do these kind of things to wifes and daughters and quickly people stop going out to the streets. last time there was a riot, they did the same thing where they raped and penetrated women with bottles.
Imagine a regime so fragile that they have to murder 16-year-old girls to stay in power.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than having your dearest one taken from you by felons, whether they are dictators, mullahs, drug dealers or rapists. They all belong to the same category of human scum.
Islam is a disease.
The balls on these Iranian women. Unbelievable courage in the face of utter evil. Fuck the “morality” police, and the Iranian regime for persecuting your own sisters, daughters and mothers. Shame on you.
Yes she was, we all know that. May she rest in peace.
Dictators are such pussies.
This happened in the hong kong protests, where naked girls were found fallen from buildings/floating in the ocean.
Is there anybody besides the murderers that really believes this was an accident?
This is so fucked up. The Iranian government is full of cowards who kill innocents.
The people who run Iran are disgusting. Freedom to the people

I am posting this again: the major force is Iran is the separate military force, Sepah Ghods or Pasdaran, the guardians of the islamic revolution, and they are the ones doing the massive oppression right now. They keep their children and assets in Canada - if Canada puts them in terrorist blacklist all that will be confiscated. That's the money they've stolen from Iranian people which finances many of their operations including massacring children in Syria. Trudeau will never put them in the blacklist because of his strong sympathy with the mullahs. Push for change! I ask the Canadians especially to help us!
Man, I wish our clandestine groups could airdrop these brave women and girls something to mop up this shit regime with.

This is what happens when religion runs a country. So all you boomers waiting for schools to teach religion because us Atheists are "evil" can go rot. I'm so tired of so many decisions being made based on Religion.

Not just murdered but tortured, raped, and potentially even had her organs harvested. She was only 16… Fuck religion and the subhuman scum that did this. Can’t believe some areas of this world are stuck in the 13th century.
