Rubina Aminian was a “full of life” 23-year-old Iranian fashion student with big goals for the future. She was shot and killed last week in the middle of nowhere protestsher aunt told CBS News, as she described how Aminian’s mother forced her way into the morgue and removed her daughter’s body.

“I can safely say that was the hardest day of my life,” Aminian’s aunt, Hilala Noori, told CBS News about the day she learned Aminian had been shot. “When they confirmed that she was killed, my whole body was on fire. I don’t know how to describe that moment to you. I haven’t been able to sleep for more than two hours since Saturday. I feel like there’s a stone in my throat. I can’t swallow anything.”

On the evening of January 8, Aminian left her university and joined a large crowd marching through the streets of the capital. There, her family says she was shot at point blank range in the back of the head.

When Aminina’s family heard the news of her death, they immediately left Kermanshah, where they live, and drove to Tehran to find her body, Noori said.

They learned the location of the morgue where they believed her remains were and went there to try to find her and bring her home.

When they arrived, Noori said her sister, Aminian’s mother, described seeing hundreds of bodies all “lying on top of each other.” She said, “People’s children, they were all shot in the head, in the neck, directly in the head. They were all lying on top of each other, and my sister was forced to see those beautiful faces to find our dear Rubina.”

Noori told CBS News that Aminian’s mother searched for bodies outside the facility but was unable to find Aminian. At first she was not allowed to enter the institution, but she managed to force her way in.

“She was forced to carry her daughter’s body and steal it, because they didn’t give her permission to take the body out,” Noori told CBS News. “She was forced to carry her daughter’s 40-kilogram body and take her outside. She stole the body from them and held it for many hours until they arrived in Kermanshah,” Noori told CBS News.

Noori said she holds Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Islamic Republic of Iran “directly responsible” for her niece’s death. “They are the only ones responsible for that,” she said.

“What the Islamic Republic took from her, they took from us, was a girl who was full of passion and love for life, and she shared that passion everywhere,” Noori said. “She wanted to create her own future. She believed that she should create her future with her own hands. She didn’t wait for someone to create her own future for her. That’s why she went to the street, to gain her freedom. Just like all the young people we lost on the street. She was practical; she never wanted someone to do something for her. She knew what she wanted to do and she knew how to do it. And I’m really proud of her. I’m proud of her choice, even though it’s very painful for me. I may never be the same. But I am proud of her sacrifice, of her journey.
