2006-2022

Nika Shakarami was a 16-year-old who went missing on September 20, 2022 after joining sweeping protests in Iran. After killing her, security forces returned her body 10 days after she went missing. Her body showed signs of severe trauma, and her family was even forced to appear on state television saying Nika had been “thrown” from a multi-story building. She was buried in her father's hometown of Khorramabad on what would have been her 17th birthday.
