Her social media videos show the young Kurdish woman trying on jewellery and lipstick and blowing kisses to the camera.
The Iran Human Rights group said she was shot at close range in the back of the head.
Her parents travelled from their home in Kermanshah to Tehran to identify her body laid out alongside other young victims, the group said.
They were forced to bury her by the side of a deserted road in a shallow grave after Iran’s security forces reportedly surrounded the family home.
