Hello, im christian fraser. Youre watching the context on bbc news. Are the context on bbc news. Re up or are we down . The Us Central Bank the Federal Reserve reviews Interest Rates as investors cast doubt over an imminent rate cut. There are two women in iran whose names became synonymous with the fight for womens freedom. One of them is mahsa amini who died from her injuries sustained in police custody. The other is nika shakarami. A 16 Year Old Girl who disappeared just days after mahsa aminis death became public. Shortly after leaving a protest on the 20th September she called a friend to say she was being chased by security forces. Nine days later her body was dumped in a quiet tehran street. The authorities denied involvement in her death, claiming she took her own life. But a classified report seen by the bbc reveals the teenager was beaten to death by the agents who detained her. Reha kansara from bbc Eye Investigations has this report. And a warning, you may find the details distressing. According to the document, nika was hunted down and arrested by team 12, one of many undercover units at the protest. She was put in the back of their vehicle, an unmarked freezer truck, with her hands bound. The report includes the direct testimony of team 12 explaining what happened next. Arash gagged her mouth with his socks. I saw sadegh was sitting on her with his hands in her pants. She kicked at out of my face, so i had to defend myself. I i could hear the sound of the baton hitting her. Is she breathing . I think he was behrooz who answered, no, shes dead. We cross checked the documents contents with geolocated videos from the protest, nikas Death Certificate and her mothers testimony. Translation her face and cheekbones were broken. Her teeth were knocked out and the back of her head had been hit so hard it caved in. Thats what killed her the damage to her head was not a side issue. We also showed the document to multiple experts and overall, despite a few inconsistencies, they said it looks genuine. One expert agreed to test the reports id number with his own sources inside the irgc. Translation this report is a small part of a 322 page case file. The Report Number is from a judicial investigation about the rioters in 2022. They confirm this. Is there anyway that document could be a fake . No, its nothing. Its original, and we accept that. The document also reveals the hearings conclusion that Sexual Assault caused the fight in the rear compartment and that strikes from team 12 caused the death of nika shakarami. None of team 12 received any punishment for her death. We put our allegations to the irgc and the government of iran. They did not respond. Reha kansara, bbc news. A really important report.

I want to praise the bbc for their dogged | praise the bbc for their dogged reporting on this because as you mentioned, it is extremely important, extremely difficult to read because it is horrendous. Essentially a young woman whos peacefully protesting the countrys mandatory forjob peacefully protesting the countrys mandatory for job loss peacefully protesting the countrys mandatory forjob loss lost her life, was killed and murdered by the very government, the iranian government that supposedly supposed to protect its young people and instead she was violently sexually assaulted in as he learned through the reporting that we just heard, beaten to death. She is not the only one. Unfortunately, since the protests that sprung up after the killing of mahsa amini in 2022, we have seen scores of young women being beaten, arrested, all for exercising their rights, peacefully protesting and wanting to have their freedom and protesting against more than just the mandatory high job loss, but protesting for equality and a quality that is not available to them under the current government system, the iranian government, the regime, so a devastating report hijab laws. We regime, so a devastating report hiab laws. ~. , regime, so a devastating report hijab ins regime, so a devastating report hiab laws. ~. ,. , hijab laws.

We tend to report on the Freedom Movement in iran, as Freedom Movement in iran, as important as it is, only when it flares up and i wonder where it is right now because it has dropped out of the headlines. Its still there . Is it still a problem for the regime . Is it still a problem for the reuime . ~ , ~ is it still a problem for the reuime . ~ , ~. , regime . Absolutely. I think that is riuht.

I think that is| right. We tend to gravitate towards the two ends of the extremes, showing extremely difficult things when we report on this sort of topic. But absolutely, the Revolutionary Movement is in essence in its. One of the arabian actresses and activists likes to contextualize it in like to be south african before apartheid. We just commemorated the third years of the weekend. That took 800 days for that apartheid to be dismantled. So if you compare it to that, this woman my Freedom Movement is in its niece c. Women are still on the straight, still protests every day and there are Family Members ive spoken to people in iranjust of are Family Members ive spoken to people in iran just of the week and who have been following the latest developments which has been the arrests and sentencing to death of irans to pack and he has just been sentenced to death for rap lyrics if you can imagine something so heinous. So while it seems it has been dormant, this revolution is still ongoing. Irans tupac. We will have to see where it goes. It is still very much ongoing. The British Government and the American Government talk out about it and they raised the issue routinely, but they raised the issue routinely, but the things they put in place do not seem to make much difference.

Ithink International Community including the uk and us. I think there clearly has to the uk and us. I think there clearly has to he the uk and us. I think there clearly has to be more pressure.

But as these looks like, i dont know. But as these protests continue, if we see more these protests continue, if we see more instances along these lines, then i more instances along these lines, then i think the International Community and western allies will be forced community and western allies will be forced Into Community and western allies will be forced into confronting iran about why this forced into confronting iran about why this is forced into confronting iran about why this is happened and how it could why this is happened and how it could happen. Innocent civilians protesting are not fair game for the type of protesting are not fair game for the type of atrocities that have been described in that report. I think there described in that report. I think there are described in that report. I think there are a described in that report. I think there are a lot of young women throughout iran leading these protests who will be scared. Looking at this protests who will be scared. Looking at this action. And that is exactly what at this action. And that is exactly what the at this action. And that is exactly what the ircg will have been hoping for, what the ircg will have been hoping for. But what the ircg will have been hoping for, but ultimately, that is something that should be happening in a modern country like iran. We will take a in a modern country like iran. Will take a break. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. I want to bring you a line of Breaking News being reported by the Sun Newspaper here in the uk this evening. Many of you will be aware of the rwanda plan which has now been approved in the House Of Commons here in the uk. Still waiting forflights to commons here in the uk. Still waiting for flights to take off carrying people to rwanda, but the sun reporting that a field of Asylum Seekers has become the first to be voluntarily sent to rwanda. The migrant was flown on a commercialflight and given the migrant was flown on a commercial flight and given £3000 to help relocate in the capital. The removal was under a voluntary scheme the government announced in march separately from the police plan to deport those arriving illegally in the uk. They will not draw any details about the Asylum Seekers only to say that he had exhausted all rights to be in the uk. One line of copy here from The Labour Shadow Home SecretaryYvette Cooper saying the government was so desperate to get flights up to rwanda they have actually paid someone to go. British taxpayers and Ops Forking Out £3000 for a volunteer to board a plane, she said they are also paying rwanda to provide him with free board and lodgings for the next five years. Theres been another bit of reporting today that they have lost about half of the 5000 people, that number, that would be qualifying for this scheme. People who would presumably be put on plays to rwanda. Now we get this detail that in fact, they are paying people to go on commercial flights.

Of those, 3300 did receive a reintegration package. All flights paid for by the government. So they would say, this is normally how it works. If people are happy to 90, how it works. If people are happy to go, that in some cases they would be given that relocation package. Its a how you understated . It is a how you understated . It is interesting. A how you understated .
