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.

      Their comment does not dismiss anything going on in Iran, as a matter of fact the dude is talking about the US. you’re somehow deflecting from their point and becoming outraged at something they never even said.

          My point is why bring up the US.

          Hot take? Because Yanks have nothing to talk about but themselves on account of not having a firm mental image of anything existing outside of the US, consequently not acknowledging the material reality of anything outside of the US. Like “Iran” could as well be “Neighbour of Wakanda” to them, on some level they regard both places as fictional so they make Iran about them just as they make Wakanda about them. A movie in the cinema reporting about a fictional place, a news article reporting about a fictional place, where’s the difference when it comes to water-cooler talk. Utterly self-absorbed bunch over there.

      Yet the person they responded too wants to make it a political issue in america acting like there is any party interested to establish islamism. They use a racist dog whistle and you are here attacking the person calling them out. “Oh if you dont vote these evil Muslims will establish the morality police here”

        I think he’s more talking about US Republicans wanting to have genital inspectors to enforce their new laws.

        It’s not the Muslims, it’s the evil Christians. Same problem, but different names.
