Collaboration with CNN
A few days after Nika Shakarami was killed by the Islamic Republic's suppressive forces during the nationwide protests of 2022, the +1500 Tasvir account posted on social media, asking people to share any images they had from Boulevard Keshavarz after 8 PM (the location and time of Nika Shakarami's death). Among the submitted images, the last photos of Nika Shakarami participating in protests against the Islamic Republic appeared in a report published by CNN. This report garnered global attention and further exposed the falsified information disseminated by the Islamic Republic.
