Another schoolgirl has reportedly been killed by the Iranian security services after she was beaten in her classroom for refusing to sing a pro-regime song when her school was raided last week, sparking further protests across the country this weekend.
According to a statement posted by the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations on 14 October, 16-year-old Asra Panahi died after security forces raided the Shahed girls’ high school in Ardabil on 13 October and demanded a group of girls sing a pro-regime song.
