Iranian authorities arrest eight after teenage protester’s death
Iranian security forces have arrested eight people over the death of a 16-year-old teenager, Nika Shahkarami, in Tehran last month, Iranian media said on Tuesday. Family members told BBC Persian that her whereabouts was unknown for 10 days before they found her body in a morgue in the capital. State-aligned news agency Tasnim said Shahkarami was found dead on September 21 in the backyard of a house in Tehran. Tasnim said that police watched surveillance footage of Shahkarami entering an adjacent building and that it remains unclear how she died. Tasnim said there is “no evidence” of claims by “foreign media” that that the teenager was killed by the police. The semi-official Fars News agency on Wednesday published CCTV footage that it claimed showed the last moments of Shahkarami’s life. The video, which the agency said it obtained from police and judicial authorities, shows a person walk into an alley and enter a home, pulling down their face mask as they walk through the door. The person is not immediately identifiable. Tehran’s prosecutor Ali Salehi said a judicial criminal case has been launched and expressed his condolences to Shahkarami’s family, state-run IRNA said.
