The official version ".

Iranian justice has denied that a teenager was killed by security forces in the province of Alborz, during protests following the death of Mahsa Amini.

The so-called Sarina Ismaïlzadeh, 16, died on September 23 “after being severely beaten in the head with truncheons” according to Amnesty International.

The Alborz prosecutor, Hossein Fazeli Harikandi, however indicates that "the first elements of the investigation" showed that the teenager had "committed suicide".

The teenager "jumped 20 minutes after midnight on September 24" from a "building not far from her grandmother's house in the Azimieh district", he said.



Multiple injuries, fractures and hemorrhages

"According to the medical-legal report, the death was due to the shock caused by the impact of the fall, as well as multiple injuries, fractures and haemorrhages", continues Hossein Fazeli Harikandi, adding that "there is no riots in the area where this incident occurred".

The site of the Judicial Authority, Mizan Online, broadcast a short video of Sarina Ismaïlzadeh's mother on Friday in which the latter assures that her daughter "had nothing to do" with the demonstrations.

On Wednesday, Iranian justice denied any link between the death of another 16-year-old girl, Nika Shakarami, and the protests in Iran.

In a video released Thursday by Persian-language media based abroad, Nika's mother accused authorities of killing her daughter.
