Nika's Last Breath

After protesting in Tehran, Nika Shakarami never went home. Iran claimed she killed herself. But a purported confidential report details a killing and a cover up by security forces.

A teenager found dead during Iran鈥檚 high-profile anti-government protests was sexually assaulted and killed by undercover agents working for Iran鈥檚 security forces, according to a purported leaked document.

In September 2022, 16-year-old Nika Shakarami attended a Woman, Life, Freedom protest in Tehran.

That day, pictures taken of her burning her hijab made her an icon in the eyes of Iran鈥檚 protestors, and a target in the eyes of the Iranian government. Nika never went home.

Iran鈥檚 government claimed she killed herself by jumping from a building, but her mother never accepted it.

Now, 主播大秀 Eye investigates this shocking report, written by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), showing how she was hunted down, sexually assaulted and bludgeoned to death.

We put the report's allegations to the Iranian government. They did not respond.
