Iranian mother kills herself after security forces 'beat daughter to death' [View all]

The tragedy began when YouTuber Sarina Esmailzadeh, 16, was killed in a baton attack during a protest in Karaj, Alborz province, on September 23, activists said.

After repeatedly trying to collect her remains, the mother was told her daughter was immoral and a terrorist.

When she finally got to see the badly beaten body, she went home and hanged herself, local news outlets confirmed.

Intelligence agents allegedly harassed and intimidated the teenager’s family in a bid to keep them silent, according to Amnesty International.
