Nasrin Ghaderi, 35, Philosophy student, killed by police in Iran

Nasrin Ghaderi, the victim She was beaten during a protest in Tehran, although the official version denies it Her case is reminiscent of that of the young Mahsa Amini, murdered for not wearing a veil More than 300 people have died due to the protests in Iran since mid-September The dream of the Kurdish Nasrin Ghaderi was studying for a Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Tehran, but the Iranian police crossed her path. On Friday, she Nasrin participated along with hundreds of students in a protest against the regime, another of the dozens that shake the country after the death of the young Mahsa Amini (also Kurdish) for not wearing the veil. The police beat down the protest, targeting Nasrin in particular, who fell into a coma and died the next day. Her father, forced to testify under pressure, claimed that Ella Nasrin was ill (“with the flu and an underlying illness”). As in the case of Amini, the official version denies the allegations. Iran’s official news agency, IRNA, merely says that Nasrin was “living her normal life” when her family suddenly lost contact with her. Her son-in-law, these sources say, broke into her place of residence in Tehran, and found her dead. A prosecutor explained that she was “poisoned”, without giving further details. But the witnesses of the protests and those around them suspect that this is false. In fact, the family has denounced the ban on Nasrin being buried under normal conditions to the Iraqi Kurdish agency Rudaw. According to the family story, the authorities forced her funeral to be held practically without the presence of her relatives and loved ones, and with strict security measures. That led to protests in the town of Mariwan, also harshly put down by the police. More than 300 dead in protests At least 16 people have been killed this weekend by shots fired by Iranian security forces in Sistan and Balochistan province. The NGO Human Rights Iran has indicated that the security forces opened fire on November 4 against a concentration in the city of Jash, in Sistan and Balochistan, the scene of another “Black Friday” after the death of almost a hundred protesters on November 30. September in the city of Zahedán. The protests in the province really broke out in June, after the rape of a Baloche girl at the hands of a police commissioner became known, but they ended up fueled by the national protests that began after the death in custody of the young Mahsa Amini on September 16. Human Rights Iran already estimates those killed by the protests at 304 fatalities, including 41 children, in 21 provinces of the country.
