The incident occurred last week when security forces raided the school, when 16-year-old Asra Panahi was reportedly beaten to death in her classroom for refusing to sing a pro-government anthem praising Tehran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iranian officials denied that the security forces were responsible for the incident, and after her death, which sparked outrage across the country, a man identified as Doda appeared on state television and claimed that she died of congenital heart disease.
Schoolgirls have emerged as a powerful force in the country after videos began circulating showing them tossing their hijabs in the air, ripping pictures of the Supreme Leader and shouting anti-regime slogans in support of Mahasa Amini, the 22-year-old who died after being arrested by Iran’s morality police For wearing the hijab in a “sloppy” way.
Iranian authorities responded to the phenomenon by launching a series of raids on schools across the country last week, with videos showing officers pushing their way into classrooms, violently arresting schoolgirls and pushing them into mobiles, and firing tear gas into school buildings. In a statement issued on Sunday, the Iran Teachers’ Association condemned the “brutal and inhumane” raids and called for the resignation of Education Minister Yusef Nouri.
