17-year-old Nika's body found with a severed nose and 29 wounds on her head

Anti-hijab protests and violence continue in Iran. The death toll on Sunday rose to 92. The demonstrations began on 16 September when Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old student, was arrested by the Moral Police on 13 September for not wearing a hijab, and her body was handed over to the family on 16 September.
On Saturday, 17-year-old Nika Shakrami, who was leading the protest, was also murdered. Police called his family and handed over the body. Nika's nose was cut off and there were 29 wounds on her head.
According to media reports, anti-hijab protests have reached 164 cities. Their impact is being seen in 31 states. So far 92 people have died after Mahsa's death. The problem of the government is that the more it is trying to suppress the protest, the faster it is spreading.
People's anger has flared up after the death of 17-year-old Nika Shakrami. On the other hand, the government has once again threatened the protesters with dire consequences if they do not give up the protest.
According to the report of 'The Telegraph', Nika was arrested by Moral police at a market in Tehran. Then she was shouting slogans with her friends. After that, she escaped from the custody of the police. During the absconding, Nika told a friend on the phone that the police were following her.
Nika's family worried about her. They searched him in every prison, detention center, police station and public place in Tehran. They didn't get any information about Nika. It is said that on Saturday, the police called Nika's family and informed them about her death.
According to media reports, when Nika's family saw his dead body, they found that he was in a very bad condition. There were countless marks of injuries on Nika's body. His nose was cut off and there were 29 head injuries.
When the police were questioned about this, the family was told that while trying to escape, Nika fell from a high place and the head injury was due to this. The family was also asked not to inform the media about this, otherwise, the outcome would not be good.
