After her death on Saturday morning, the young Iranian Armita Geravand (16) was buried in the capital Tehran. She fell and fell into a coma about a month ago after an alleged confrontation with Islamic moral guardians.
The young woman was reportedly confronted by the vice police in the metro at the beginning of October because she was not wearing a headscarf.
State media denied the moral watchdogs’ violence. Geravand fell and hit his head due to low blood pressure, the official statement said.
“Dear Armita, goodbye!”
Videos on social media showed people dressed in black gathering at the central Behesht-e Zahra cemetery in southern Tehran, screaming and crying in grief at the grave. “Dear Armita, goodbye,” a man shouted in a video.
Geravand’s fate reminds many Iranians of the case of the young Iranian Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by moral watchdogs in the fall of 2022 for an allegedly ill-fitting headscarf.
Amini fell into a coma and died. Her death last year sparked the worst protests in decades. Since then, many women have demonstratively ignored the obligation to wear a headscarf.
