Iran girl, 16, beaten to death for not singing anthem praising the supreme leader

In a shocking incident in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a 16-year-old Iranian girl, identified as Asra Panahi, died after she was allegedly beaten up by Iranian security forces in her classroom for not singing the anthem praising the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to the BBC, the incident took place last week in northwestern Ardabil city when the Iranian security forces were raiding Shaheed Girls High School. They forced the girls to sing the anthem to praise the supreme leader. When the girls resisted, the security forces beat them.

Asra Panahi later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital. However, Iranian security forces have denied responsibility for Asra Panahi’s death.

Asra Panahi's death comes at a time when Iran is witnessing anti-government and anti-hijab protests over the death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini.

Protests first began on September 17 at the funeral of Amini in Saqqez, the capital of Saqqez County, Kurdistan Province, Iran. Subsequently, protests spread across various cities and districts of the country.

Many people took to the streets, demanding justice for Amini. They also called for the fall of the Iranian government and the supreme leader of Iran.

Amini’s family and cousin said that Iranian security forces beat her in the van. Amini’s family said that her body showed bruises and other signs of beating. Amini’s cousin also said that Amini died after a "violent blow to the head.” Her cousin claimed that the Iranian morality police hit her in the head with a baton at the detention centre and she lost consciousness. However, Iran’s government said that Amini was not mistreated by the morality police.

Amini was arrested on September 13 for allegedly wearing a loose hijab. Iranian morality police took Amini to the detention centre to teach her a lesson about Hijab
