Elnaz Babazadeh Raped and Murdered by Police


According to HRANA, Elnaz Babazadeh, a 26 year old woman was raped and murdered by Basij forces in the city of Tabriz (northwestern Iran) last week.

According to HRANA, Babazadeh’s car was stopped by Basij forces because she did not follow the Iranian regime’s dress code properly. Elnaz resisted the forces and did not listen to the orders of the Basij forces.

After Babazadeh resisted the orders by Basij forces, the Basij member who had stopped her jumped into her car and threatened her with a gun. Two other Basij members joined in and beat and raper her. They murdered Babazadeh and dumped her body close to Emamiyeh cemetery.

After local investigation was conducted by HRANA members in Tabriz, it was confirmed at Babazadeh’s funeral that the person who killed her was the son of a high-ranking Revolutionary Guards member.

The intentions of the savage Basij members was to put a stop to the “improper” way women in society dressed. Basij members believe this is their duty to God.

Elnaz Babazadeh`s family has filed a complaint against the murder of their daughter to regime officials, but the IRGC is trying to take control of the case.
