The next story I am about to share with you is quite shocking. It involves a female student who was arrested in a violent manner for stripping down to her underwear as a form of protest against Iran's strict dress code for women. This incident took place at the top Islamic Azad University in Tehran.
The student, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was confronted by Iran's shadowy vigilante force for not wearing a headscarf. In the video footage, we can see her removing her clothing and walking out onto the street in her underwear after a scuffle with the Basij on Saturday afternoon. She then calmly strolled around the campus before being forcefully taken away by men in plain clothes.
According to university officials, the student was under severe stress and suffering from mental disorders. She was immediately transferred to a medical center for treatment. However, journalist and women's rights activist Masih Alinejad claims that the woman was actually harassed by the university's morality police.
Human rights campaigners have called for the release of the woman, as the video footage also shows her being forcefully pushed into a car. Alinejad further stated that the woman's act of stripping down to her underwear was a powerful reminder of Iranian women's ongoing fight for freedom. She added that women in Iran often use their bodies as weapons to defy a regime that controls their every move.
According to a source from the student-led AmirKabir Newsletter, the unknown woman suffered severe physical abuse and heavy bleeding after hitting her head on either a column or the car's door. She was then taken to an unknown location and no further information has been given about her condition or whereabouts.
The incident has sparked outrage, with many calling for an independent and impartial investigation. Amnesty International's Iranian branch has also joined in, stating that the woman should be released immediately and unconditionally. They have also urged the authorities to protect her from any further harm and ensure that she has access to her family and a lawyer.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in Iran. In fact, it has been more than two years since the country was shaken by protests after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the morality police for violating the dress code. Women all over the country started removing and burning their headscarves in defiance of the oppressive regime. It is a constant struggle for women in Iran, as they are forced to cover their heads and wear loose clothing in public. Failure to do so can lead to prosecution.
We can only hope that the authorities will take this incident seriously and address the issue of women's rights in Iran. It is time for a change, and women should not have to live in fear and oppression for simply expressing themselves. Let us stand with the unknown woman and all the women in Iran fighting for their freedom.
