BBC identifies young people killed in Iran’s protests

Iran's Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) estimates 222 people have been killed in or after the widespread demonstrations sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, 22, detained for allegedly breaking rules on headscarves.

The authorities' strict control of information and independent reporting makes the number and identities of those killed hard to verify.

BBC News has used a variety of investigative techniques to name a total of 40 men, women and children who have died - many shot

Almost all of the Islamic Republic's previous protests have been about the state of the economy.

Now, in an unprecedented move, women, particularly young women, have taken to the streets - the slogan chanted at protests: "Woman. Life. Freedom."

But the security services have cracked down - and some women have been shot.

Nika Shakarmi and Sarina Esmailzadeh, both 16, were killed in capital Tehran and its surrounding area.

Ms Shakarmi went missing in Tehran, on 20 September, after telling a friend police officers were chasing her. A death certificate obtained by BBC Persia states she died after "multiple injuries caused by blows with a hard object".

Human-rights groups say Ms Esmailzadeh, a YouTuber, died after being beaten by security forces armed with batons on 23 September.

Mahsa Mougouyi, 18, died in Isfahan, central Iran.

Women in their 20s and 30s have also been killed, as has Minoo Majidi, 62, in Kermanshah, western Iran.
