The 16-year-old Asra Panahi is an Iranian schoolgirl who died after being severely beaten up by pro-regime forces after they raided her school calling the girls to sing in praise of the supreme leader.
Asra Panahi was taken to the hospital but unfortunately, she died of injuries hours later. A hashtag in her name (#AsraPanahi) went viral on social media where activists strongly denounced attacking the school girls.
Security forces in Iran raided a high school and beat a group of girls until 1 of them died because they refused to sing a pro-regime anthem. Teenage girls in Iran are displaying exceptional feats of heroism.

Security forces have been attacking and targeting protesters who are rallying against the Iranian regime following the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, on September 16 during her arrest by the country's morality police over wearing the hijab 'improperly'.
Protests have erupted across the country where people chanted slogans against the supreme leader and the government and refused the forced hijab as well as called for women's freedom.
