The 16 -year -old high school student put her identity document, a bottle of water and a towel in a backpack, claiming to go and spend the night with her sister who lives in a university dorm. After that, for days, his family went around the prisons and the morgues looking for him. On September 30, she identified her body, the skull and the broken nose. “The bottle and the towel were intended to protect it from tear gas. She had left to demonstrate,” said her aunt, Atash Shakarami, at BBC Persian, a Persian -speaking chain broadcast from London.
