Tehran’s theocratic government has imposed restrictions on women’s dress since 1979.
16-year-old Armita Geravand fell into a coma following a confrontation with agents in the Tehran metro for not wearing the hijab.
Iranian authorities also deny reports by rights activists that the 16-year-old girl, Armita Geravand, was injured on Sunday in a confrontation with officers enforcing the country’s Islamic dress code, which requires women to wear a head covering. Rights groups fear that Geravand might face the same fate as Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman whose death in a coma in September 2022 in the custody of morality police sparked weeks of nationwide anti-government protests in Iran’s most serious unrest for years. The protests led to a deadly crackdown by authorities.
The hospitalisation of Geravand has already ignited anger on social media among Iranians who demand full video footage of what happened, including from inside a metro car. Upon entering the cabin, one of the girls is seen immediately backing off and reaching for the ground, before another girl is dragged unconscious from the cabin by passengers.Geravand’s mother and father appeared in a video posted on IRNA yesterday saying that their daughter had suffered a drop in blood pressure, lost her balance, and hit her head inside the metro cabin.
“We continue to stand with the brave people of Iran and work with the world to hold the regime accountable for its abuses.”
