Referring to two fractures in her head and forearm, the forensic expert added, “There were visible signs of flogging and cigarette burns all over her body such that there wasn’t a spot left unharmed.

He added, “The situation is so tragic that no one can believe what has happened, and you can’t say the person who has abused her has any human traits.”

This girl who lives in the south part of Tehran has been transferred by the emergency division of State Welfare Organization to the hospital.
