Nika Shakarami’s mother says the morality police arrested my daughter for not wearing the mandatory hijab.
Nasrin Shakarami, the mother of Nika Shakarami, one of those killed during the nationwide protests in Iran in 2022, wrote in an Instagram story that the Tehran morality police arrested her daughter Aida for not wearing the mandatory hijab.
According to Ms. Shakarami, her daughter is still in custody.
Nika Shakarami was a 16-year-old protester who disappeared after participating in the first demonstrations in September 2022 on Keshavarz Boulevard in Tehran, and her family was summoned to the morgue for identification after ten days of no news.
Nika was buried in the absence of her family and in a location other than where the family intended.
On Saturday, April 15, the Noor plan was initiated to combat what the Iranian government calls the fight against unveiling.
Since then, numerous images, stories, and reports of violent encounters, beatings, and arrests of women over the hijab have been published.
