Iran: Another Female Student was Killed For Not Singing A Pro-Government Song

A student was beaten to death by security forces in Iran for refusing to sing a pro-government song in school.

The Coordinating Council of the Teachers' Union in Iran announced that a 16-year-old student's daughter, Asra Panahi, was beaten up at school in an attack on Shahed School in Ardabil on October 13, by supporters of the regime in the country.

When they arrived, they asked the students to sing a song praising Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while they resisted.

Panahi is said to have died at the hospital on Friday from the injuries he sustained at school. Iran's government has denied that the security forces were involved in the death of the girl, which has sparked outrage across the country.

A man who claimed to be Panahi's uncle appeared on television saying she had died of a heart attack.

The girls at the school showed great courage after footage was shown of them waving their hijabs in the air, taking down pictures of Iran's top leaders in schools, and shouting slogans against the regime and in support of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who recently died after being jailed by Iran's moral police for not wearing the hijab properly in August.

Last week, Iranian authorities launched attacks on schools across the country, with reports saying that police forcefully entered schools, forced girls into waiting cars outside, and shot at school buildings.

In a statement released on Sunday, Iran's teachers' union condemned the brutal attacks, and called for the resignation of Education Minister Yousef Nouri.

Panahi's death further mobilized schoolgirls across the country to participate in protests over the weekend.
