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.

    It allows women (and men) which actively fight in wars and are captured to be sold as slaves. Not random civilians.

        Capturing people that try to kill you is a lot different than randomly kidnapping people from the street.

        And the entire sex slave rape fantasy people are writing about doesn’t check out either. But I would not expect any less from people that verbatim repeat any Islamophobic propaganda they have read and never fact check it.

        If they were following Islamic law and this actually happened these three men would now have to be stoned to death.
