– Sadras Koushkizadeh, 24, married with a three-year-old daughter, died on Saturday in the south-western city of Dehdasht because of the seriousness of her burns.
 
She had self-immolated 20 days ago with kerosene out of frustration over poverty and destitution in her family, a family friend told Iran Focus.
