Interview with Nele, Nika Shakarami’s girlfriend by Zeit Magazine

‘‘Nika loved the moon, and it became an important symbol in their relationship, says Nele. When they missed each other, they would say: "We don’t live in the same country, but beneath the same sky." Sometimes, Nika would tell Nele over the phone that she was looking at the moon, saying: You should go outside too, Nele, so we can look at it together. They even called each other "my moonie." Or Niki and Neli. Or Haku and Chihiro, like the main characters in the anime film "Spirited Away," which both of them loved. The story involves a courageous boy helping a shy girl escape a world full of monsters. "That was us," Nele says today‘‘

Nika Shakarami was a 16 year old brave Iranian girl who was kidnapped by the police during the ongoing protests in Iran, brutally tortured, raped and murdered in cold blood. Her burial was on her birthday. Say her name, Nika Shakarami

Nika shakarami, a 17 year old iranian girl who went missing for ten days after attending a protest against the government.

Her family asked about her whereabouts from the police almost everyday but the police always said the they didn't know and that she wasn't here.

Before Nika was arrested she called her friend/family and told them that she was being followed by the police and that she was afraid.

After that nobody heard of Nika again.

After 10 days her family was finally able to see her to identify her body.

Her skull was broken and her face was fully smashed because of repeated hits to hear head and her face.

Her family also says that there were stitch marks on her body, likely because they opened her body for reasons that are unknown as of now.

There are also claims that Nika was repeatedly raped as well. And with how the polic is handling the situation I don't doubt that this is the case.

The police is uncharacteristically very scared about any information that might get out on the internet about her death. They are so scared that they have threatened to kill Nika's uncle and aunt if her family speaks any more about her death and they are pressuring her family to come to tv and say that her death was not by the police.

The police took (stole) Nika's body and buried her without her family's knowledge, because they were scared about what they would find on her body.

Please be the voice of Iranian people and please be the voice that Nika and her family desperately need at this time of sorrow.

Don't let the horrific death of Nika, a teenager so full of life go unpunished.

Hi....

This News came out at the end of November, but I couldn't share it with you guys (due to Laziness. I'm sorry)....

News

Farideh Moradkhani, the niece of Islamic Republic’s "Supreme" Leader, calls on international community to support Iranians. She compares her uncle to Hitler and Mussolini. She says Iranians will overthrow the Islamic Republic.

She was then arrested.

It checks out. She is indeed a Niece of Khamenei.

I have shared the (link to the youtube) Video here...

Edit- The Morality Police did not get disbanded. It was just Propaganda by the West, that s*cks Khamenei D*ck....

Shame on them.

Well. Shame on me.

Fool me once, shame on me......

Please share.

Please reblog.

Freedom for Iran.

There is no place for political imprisonment in a functioning, democratic society.

Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran is no ordinary prison. Since 1972 (for 50 years! Half a century!!) it has been the primary site for the housing of Iran's political prisoners. Due to the number of intellectuals, students and other elite members of the intelligentsia housed there, Evin Prison is commonly referred to as “Evin University”. Many (my own mother included) used to say “Evin prison could declare independence” (because they have everyone. From diplomats to doctors. From journalists to students.). Many of the prisoners there are more fit to run the country than the current leaders.

Evin‬⁩ is no ordinary prison. Many of Iran’s best & brightest have spent long stretches confined there, where brave women & men are denied their basic rights for speaking truth to power. The regime is responsible for what happens to those inside right now.

Political prisoners aren’t the only innocent people there. There are innocent journalists, poets, filmmakers, artists, activists and LGBTQ+ people unjustly held in that prison. All because they want basic rights. All because they want to be treated with basic human decency.

As of 3:00 pm (EST) October 15, the Evin Prison has been on fire. Many who live nearby say they heard gunshots days prior to the fire. At least 4 explosions have happened so far and there will be more.

Two days ago Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani, son of the former president and an Iranian elite “businessman” Aghazadeh, was released from the prison on a break and was to go back after two days. He was told not to. After two days of him not being there, the prison burns down with explosions and gunshots that can be heard from streets away. Coincidence? I think not. Even though they “arrested” one of their people, he wasn’t there when Evin caught fire. The elite will never get hurt because they ARE the regime.

Tehran is taken over by the scent of blood and smoke.

The Islamic Republic is responsible for all those lives unjustly behind bars. Tonight they commit arson in the name of arson. They will attempt to say it didn’t happen or that it was an accident. A gas leak or some other lie. They did this just like they did everything else. Here’s just to name a few:

Cinema Rex Fire (1978), Sanchi Ship (2018), Metropol Building Collapse (2022), Flight 752 (2020), Massacre of 1988, Plasco Building fire (2017), Violent raids on the dormitory of Tehran University (1999), the continues hate crimes (rapes, conversion and killings) or non-muslims, not to mention the amount of people who’ve died due to poverty and/or in protests.

Just days ago, government forces attacked an intermediate school in Ardabil, Iran. A pre-school aged girl was beaten to death (at her school, in front of her peers) for engaging in protests.

For the Islamic Republic Regime of Iran, it has always been geniuses vs. guns.

There is nothing we can do but to spread the word. To spread awareness. To make Iran-related hashtags trending again.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would use my Tumblr account, which is meant to be for me to interact with people in different fandoms all in good fun, to talk about something like this. I feel so terrified and helpless. Pease repost!

Torture, murder, and likely rape while in custody? Acceptable to the conservative Iranian Muslim regime.

Women not wearing proper headdress or showing their hair in public? A grave threat to social order and religious values.

PLEASE HELP IRAN

The Iranian REVOLUTION is well under way. Keep sharing and using your voice!

Above is a petition to end the protest bloodshed in Iran. Below are more resources to lend your voice to Iranian Protesters.

Nagin Mahmoudi, who is also the mother of a 7-month-old child, was held hostage by Iranian Security authorities in Paveh city in the Kermanshah province and was relocated due to her husband’s activities.

PLEASE SPREAD AWARENESS! They will likely execute her husband if he’s caught. He’s a lawyer whose been helping out political prisoners also known as ACTIVISTS FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS throughout the Kurdistan province. They won’t allow her to be released on bail.

You on the internet already saved two people, one of them has already been executed, we don't have much time.

So please, help these people get a merry Christmas too

My next post will include more ways to help. Please act quickly, and bring justice to iran.

Iran's protests is not a one dimensional fight against compulsory hijab. Rather It's a large mess. Most of us are fighting multiple wars now. Years and years of neglect from government led us all to a point where our subjects of objections are limitless. Imagine what this protests means to a kurd atheist queer woman trapped in iran! This protests has given people the opportunity to acknowledge and speak up about every single wrongdoing they endured by the government in their lifetime.

I was going to explain Iranian demands on the streets to a foreigner friend and I realized I can't cover everything in just a couple of texts. It takes days to address everything and even then it would feel like only scratching the surface. My resentment for IR grows everyday.

There is not much News coming out of Iran.

@bellamonde @aftabkaran are not active. @edentheactivist 's Tumblr got deactivated. Previously, they used to post regular Updates regarding the situation and developments in Iran.

Probably Internet is completely shut down.

I used to think they were exaggerating when they said it could’ve been anyone but they aren’t. My 17th birthday is in 19 days. My mom keeps saying how whenever I’m in pain I call for her and to think how much Nika must’ve called for her mom as she was brutally beaten and murdered.

This is Nika Shakarami from Tehran, Iran. She should’ve been 17 today.

Just days before her birthday she went protesting with thousands of others in the streets of Tehran but didn’t return to her family that night. She was taken by government forces. After 10 days of being missing (that is 10 days that a mother didn’t know of the whereabouts of her teenage daughter, 10 days that a father didn’t know if his baby girl was alive), her dead body was found. Her nose was smashed and her skull was completely destroyed. She was identified by a birthmark and her family wasn’t allowed to see her face at first.

The government is claiming she “fell from great height” but if that was true why wouldn’t the government hand over her phone? Why would all her social media present (on Instagram, Whatsapp, Telegram) been removed as if she never had any?

I’ve heard her family is being forced to lie about her situation on national TV. Her family wasn’t allowed to hold a burial ceremony but even not doing that wasn’t enough as her body was stolen by the government and buried 40km away from where she was meant to be buried.

Please share this post. Share her story. Don’t let her be one of the many whose story was never told. Don’t let her be forgotten. Help this post reach a bigger audience.
