Her name is Nika Shakarami. She was only 17.
Nika joined #IranProtests on Sept 20. Ten days later her family was asked to go to Kahrizak prison to get her body. The authorities didn’t allow the family to have a funeral for her while arresting her aunt & uncle pic.twitter.com/oYcqVzcztZ
And this is 16 year old Sarina Esmailzadeh. She had a YouTube channel & was very active on social media talking about life style. Full of energy, full of joy. Sarina was killed on Sept 30 when she joined #IranProtests. Islamic republic’s authorities claim she took her own life. 1 pic.twitter.com/tVVanbcftx
