Iranian authorities say the 16-year-old girl died when a worker pushed her off a construction roof, with the mother saying her daughter was killed by Iranian security forces.
A documentary video posted on social media shows 16-year-old Nika Sakarami, who also died in Iran last week, protesting the death of 22-year-old Mahsha Anmini just hours before she was found dead, according to the BBC.
“The girl who is burning her headscarf in this footage is #Nika_Shakarami,” a source close to the family told BBC Persian.
She was then chased by security forces and found dead 10 days later.#Mahsa_Amini

The 16-year-old is said to be standing on top of a rubbish bin and burning her headscarf in Tehran on September 20, as anti-Islamic Republic slogans are heard from the crowd. Afterwards, however, the 16-year-old disappeared.
She later disappeared after telling a friend that the police were after her.
Despite the fact that the Iranian authorities report that the minor girl died probably when a worker pushed her from a construction roof, Nasreen’s mother blames the Iranian security forces for her daughter’s murder.
Last week, Iranian state television aired blurry footage showing a teenage girl or woman, reportedly 16-year-old Nika, walking down an alley and entering a building through a door. Her mother, however, denies that it is her daughter. Another source close to the family also said that the girl in the video does not walk like Nika.
#Nika_Shakarami‘s mother an interview with BBC Persian:
– Like Nika, I am against compulsory hijab
– My brother and sister’s interview with Iranian state TV was a forced confession
-The footage below that Iranian state media showed isn’t Nika.#Mahsa_Amini— Parham Ghobadi (@BBCParham) October 10, 2022
Nika’s mother also claimed that her sister Atash and brother Mohsen were forced to make false statements about the 16-year-old’s death while in custody.
“They threatened to arrest my brother’s four-year-old child,” he said.
“Like Nika, I have been against compulsory hijab since I was a child. But my generation was not brave enough to protest,” the teenager’s mother told BBC Persian, adding: “My peers received years of oppression, humiliation and humiliation, but my daughter protested and she had every right to do so.”
