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.

    did you even read the article you posted? It says that the women who are taken as prisoners of war and not freed or ransomed are to be protected under the same protections as slaves, which includes not getting raped.

    You really think quoting what ISIS(the most hated group in the world even by muslims and islamic scholars) did proves the point? You’re either mentally challenged or trolling. Either way go back to reddit.

      Seriously. Some people seem to be incapable of understanding nuance. Literally billions of people follow various religions that at some point have condoned some pretty fucked up behavior. These religions have contemporary offshoots that still believe this fucked up behavior is acceptable, typically because it directly benefits them, but the vast majority do not. Then you get some yahoos who see the worst of the worst and paint entire religions with a broad brush based on them.

      People aren’t shitty because of religion. Shitty people use religion as an excuse to be shitty and would fabricate something else if religion and other forms of magical thinking were quashed.

        Blowback is a bitch ain’t it? It was the US led invasion of Iraq that birthed ISIS. An invasion based on lies about terrorists being in Iraq drummed up by neocons and neolibs, and that would actually help to create a more virulent terrorist plague in the end. And it was the US that armed and trained Bin Laden for its proxy war with Russia in Afghanistan.

        When you say “true story”, how much history and context do you really know? Try not getting your news and ‘facts’ watching fox and oan news and alex jones types.

            I looked it up and can’t find anything. Can you link sources? Or are you parrotting IDF propaganda as usual? I can’t even find anything about Hamas being at war with ISIS.
