Nika Shakarami, 17, was killed in Tehran by #Iran's security forces during the recent #IranProtests.

Authorities did not hand over her body to her family for ten days.

God knows what they had done to her...

#نیکا_شاکرمی
Powerful message from #NikaShakarami's mother who refuses to be silenced about Nika's killing by #Iran's regime.

"Today was your birthday, my dear!" she says in this video. "Today, I say congratulations on becoming a martyr."

#IranProtests
#نیکا_شاکرمی
#Nika_Shakarami's family says her whereabouts was unknown for 10 days before they found her body in a morgue in the capital.

“When we went to identify her, they didn’t allow us to see her body, only her face for a few seconds," her aunt said.

#Iran's state TV claims #Nika_Shakarami fell off a building to her death, denying she was killed by state police.

Report says she fell after entering a building at 12:30 am. Yet the image shown is in daylight.

So no one heard a scream or saw the body that night?

#نیکا_شاکرمی Image
#Iran's state TV claims #Nika_Shakarami's backpack and mobile phone ended up on a girder after her fall from the rooftop.

Question: How is it possible for her backpack and mobile phone to end up there so neatly?

Were they not placed there for the state TV report?
#نیکا_شاکرمی Image
#Iran's state TV interviewed the manager of the building they claim #Nika_Shakarami fell to her death from.

The manager shows two "images" during the interview, which are clearly video clips. However, the footage was not aired.

Why? What are they hiding?

#نیکا_شاکرمی ImageImage
A closer look at the image of #NikaShakrami's dead body in the alley where #Iran's state TV claims she fell to from a rooftop shows blood on both sides of her body.

—Blood colors are different.
—Blood on both sides could indicate she was dragged.

This leads to more questions. Image
#Iran's state TV claims #NikaShakrami entered a building at 12:30 am on Sep 21.

Tasnim news agency (close to #IRGC) claims she entered the building at 10 pm on Sep 20.

More indication of the regime's lies. ImageImage
#Iran's state TV aired this footage from a security camera to back their claim of #NikaShakrami entering the building at night.

A closer look tells us that this video footage is not authentic and has been doctored.

#نیکا_شاکرمی
#NikaShakrami had died some of her blonde.

The footage shown by #Iran's state TV shows an individual talking on a phone. Yet the individual does not resemble Nika.

And the video footage shows no backpack.

More questions.

#نیکا_شاکرمی ImageImage
Still images of #Iran's state TV shows a black line over the text.

Why? What are the authorities hiding?

Another images shows the letters "AM03" which could be "CAM03". This part of the footage was probably zoomed.

#NikaShakrami
#نیکا_شاکرمی ImageImageImage
If #NikaShakrami's death was from falling from a rooftop, why does this burial authorization letter published by the BBC state her death as resulting from "numerous blows by a hard object"?

Why was her family not allowed to see her body for ten days?

#نیکا_شاکرمی Image
More questions:
—Why have #NikaShakrami's aunt & uncle been arrested? Does #Iran's regime want to silence them?
—Nika had her ID with her. Why did authorities not inform her family for 10 days?
—Why did authorities bury Nika's body in a village without her family's knowledge? Image
Following the murders of #MahsaAmini and #HadisNajafi, #Iran's regime is going the distance and resorting to lie after lie to cover up the murder of #NikaShakrami. ImageImageImage
One more thing about the security camera footage:

At the beginning #Nika_Shakarami is seen with a black mask. Later on in the footage it appears she has a white mask. Notice the yellow arrow.

More signs of doctoring & the regime's lies.

1)
“I’m struck by the bravery of young Iranians & the ferocity of their desire to get out from under the rule of this [regime].”

Why is MSM baffled of #Iran’s protests?

They’ve been listening to Tehran’s apologists/lobbyists as their “experts”.
heshmatalavi.substack.com/p/how-mainstre…
2)
#Iran’s regime has carefully orchestrated an organized effort to plant “Iran experts” in the West for the MSM to rely on for their Iran coverage. This obviously goes in line with the West’s appeal to pursue a highly flawed & long-mistaken appeasement policy vis-à-vis Tehran. Image
3)
One important part of this modus operandi has been a choir of media outlets that push a certain narrative about a relatively stable regime in control of #Iran, with a possibility of change and reform from within, and encouraging the West to engage with the mullahs in power. Image
