Samira says she escaped Iran on foot and now lives abroad in hiding, seeking to name those she believes were responsible. Key numbers: Sevda was killed on 9 January at age 16. Why it matters: Samira says authorities forced her to say "terrorists" killed her daughter before releasing the body, which she describes as a cover up.
