The images surfaced online and were apparently taken at a funeral home preparing the marble carvings for Mahsa’s grave.

The headstone shows an image of Mahsa, 22, inside a heart design with angel wings on either side.

The tombstone also bears a message addressed to her saying: “Your name is the dawn that passes over the forehead of the sky, may your name be blessed”.

It also reportedly features a verse from the 14th-century Persian poet Hafez saying:

“When you pass by my tomb, ask for grace,

“It’s a shrine where the pilgrims abound.”

Iranian forces have been cracking down on waves of civil disorder following the death of Mahsa, from Saqqez, Kurdistan Province.

She had been on a visit to Tehran when she was arrested by morality police, accused of violating hijab rules on 13th September.

She was allegedly beaten while in custody and spent the following days in a coma in the hospital before succumbing in the ICU on 16th September.

The clinic where she was treated said in a now-deleted social media post that she had been admitted brain-dead.

Alleged medical scans of her skull leaked by hackers showed that she had suffered bone fractures, haemorrhages, and brain oedema.

Independent Iranian media have claimed that Mahsa’s medical records showing her history of heart disease were faked by the Iranian government.

Dissident Iranian activists have now reportedly said that over 400 people have died as a result of security forces cracking down on the protests gripping the country.
