She was in perfect health.

The person who hit my daughter should be put on trial in a public court, not a fake trial that results in reprimands and expulsions.

Her family members also told news outlets that they were denied access to her autopsy report, pressured to quickly bury her, and told not to speak publicly about the case.

But they decided not to do that, and the story could not be suppressed.

And protests erupted after her death, which then in turn led to 500 other deaths and over 20,000 arrests.

Now what made these protests very different, and arguably a lot more powerful than the ones that took place in 1999 and 1979, was the internet.

Because not only were the people in Iran able to see how people lived in other countries, but they were able to show us the realities of their country.

They were filming everything.

It was all over social media within hours.

Videos were flooding out of Iran, just like this.

And this is what the government of Iran, that is run by old 80-year-old men, does not understand.

The internet is forever.

You cannot erase videos seen by millions of people around the world.
