Nasrin Shahkarami, mother of teenager Nika Shahkarami who was brutally killed during the Iranian protests says the authorities threatened her to "confess to the scenario that we want"

TL;DR

Protests erupted across Iran over the death of Amini, a 22-year-old Kurd, after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran for allegedly breaching the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.A crackdown by the security forces on the women-led protests has claimed dozens of lives, according to human rights groups.But Persian-language media outside Iran have reported that the girl’s family were not allowed to lay her to rest in her hometown, and that her aunt and uncle were later arrested.“I probably don’t need to try that hard to prove they’re lying... my daughter was killed in the protests on the same day that she disappeared.” The mother said a forensic report found that she had been “killed on that date, and due to repeated blunt force trauma to the head.“But they have called others, my uncles, others, saying that if Nika’s mother does not come forward and say the things we want, basically confess to the scenario that we want and have created, then we will do this and that, and threatened me.” Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights (IHR) on Thursday said it held the Islamic republic responsible for Nika Shahkarami’s death."
