Apparently feeling intimidated by the moral guardians of the mullahs’ regime, an Iranian woman stripped down to her underwear and protested, semi-naked, against the strict dress code. The student was arrested on Saturday. Images of their protest spread like wildfire on social media.
The woman, who studied at Tehran’s private Azad University, was harassed by members of the Revolutionary Guard militia, activists said on Saturday. The campus guards tore her clothes. In protest, she walked through the streets in her underwear, according to a video (see below).
Other images show the young woman being pushed into a car by men in civilian clothes. According to student portal Amir Kabir, the young woman, whose identity is not known, was beaten during the arrest. The video was apparently recorded by residents of a building near the university.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has strict dress codes that are being increasingly aggressively ignored by the younger generation. Their compliance is also monitored by so-called moral watchdogs. Since the nationwide protests in the fall of 2022, many women in major cities have resisted the obligation to wear a headscarf. However, a case like this, where a woman strips down to her underwear, is not yet known.
Government: ‘Woman has psychological problems’
Pro-government media reported that the university’s security service had handed the student over to the police. They dismissed the portrayal on social media and spoke of the young woman’s “mental issues.” The incident is under investigation, the spokesperson said. Your privacy must be respected. The human rights organization Amnesty International called for their immediate release.
