Female Iranian Student Strips and Arrested on Tehran University Campus

A female student in Iran was arrested for removing her clothing in protest of the country's strict dress code. Amnesty International is calling for her immediate release and is concerned about reports that she was beaten and harassed during her arrest. The incident occurred at Islamic Azad University in Tehran, where the student was reportedly harassed for wearing an improper hijab. While some Iranian officials have alleged that the student has mental health issues, activists maintain that her actions were a deliberate protest against the regime's control over women's bodies. This event is reminiscent of the 2022 protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for allegedly violating the dress code.
