In Tehran, a student stripped off in protest and was arrested

On Saturday, November 2, one of the students stripped down to her underwear in the courtyard of the Islamic Azad University in Tehran after she was attacked by local security officers because she was not wearing a hijab, Iran International reported.

The student’s actions were filmed, and the file went viral on social networks.

A university official later confirmed the student’s arrest. “Following an indecent act by a student at the university’s Research Department, campus security intervened and handed her over to law enforcement,” wrote Amir Mahjoub, head of public relations at Islamic Azad University.

The Telegram channel Amir Kabir Newsletter published details of the incident: the student undressed after she was persecuted for not wearing a headscarf, and her clothes were torn by security officers. It is also reported that during the arrest the girl was beaten and her head was cut.
