The 15-year-old Nazanin Zainab Alizadeh from Khorramabad was studying at Sadiqeh Kobra School. The deputy found out that Nazanin Zainab had fallen in love with a boy. He contacted Zainab's mother, who brought her to school and discussed the matter with her. Nazanin Zainab begged the deputy and her mother not to tell her father anything about it. However, her pleas were not heeded, and both the deputy and her mother informed her father. In fear of her father, Nazanin Zainab fled from school at that moment. Two days later, it was reported that Nazanin Zainab had died. Her family claimed that she had committed suicide, but her friends, who had organized a memorial service for her at school, were sure that Nazanin Zainab had been murdered.
