Iran: further protests announced after death of 16-year-old vlogger

Sixteen-year-old Sarina Esmailzadeh was killed when security forces beat her with batons at a protest in Alborz province on 23 September, according to Amnesty International. The popular vlogger joined an anti-government movement following the death of 22-year-old Masha Amini while in morality police custody in Iran. Officials had told Esmailzadeh's family investigations had concluded her death was a result of suicide. Similarly, Iranian authorities claim 17-year-old Nika Shakarami had also died by suicide, despite evidence to show she was killed by the regime after protesting.
