While strolling in her underwear among her veiled comrades, in the middle of the campus of the prestigious Azad University in Tehran, an Iranian student wanted to “protest against the abusive application of the compulsory wearing of the veil by the security agents” of the university, says the organization Amnesty International.
This Wednesday, the Iranian Minister of Science, Research and Technology, Hossein Simaei, sees a completely different explanation for this courageous act and affirms that the behavior of the Iranian woman who undressed in public in Tehran was “immoral” . “She broke the norms and her behavior was not based on Sharia (Islamic law), it was immoral and contrary to customs,” Hossein Simaei said on the sidelines of a government meeting. The student was “not” excluded from her university, added the minister.
“Those who republished these images propagated prostitution”
As a reminder, the video of the young woman in her underwear, first sitting then walking slowly in front of Azad University in Tehran, has gone viral since last weekend on social networks. Media in Iran even broadcast images of the scene, blurring the young girl. “Those who republished these images have propagated prostitution,” criticized Hossein Simaei, saying that this gesture was justified “neither morally nor religiously.” “The motivations and reasons for this student’s action are under investigation,” Azad University public relations manager Amir Mahjoub said on Saturday. “The university security intervened and handed her over to the police station,” he wrote on the social network X blocked in Iran, claiming that the student was “under great pressure and suffering from mental disorders “. Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani on Wednesday denied reports that the student had been brutally arrested.
In an unusual statement, the Iranian embassy in France assured that “this student suffered from certain family problems and fragile psychological conditions”. “Signs of abnormal behavior had already been observed by those around him,” underlines the press release.
