The Iranian Fars agency reported the incident and published a blurred photo of the student. According to the agency, the young woman wore “inappropriate” clothing to class and “stripped off” after being warned by security guards. Islamic law in Iran imposes a very strict dress code on women, who are required to wear headscarves and loose clothing that conceals their shapes.

The Femme Vie Liberté movement has been massively repressed by the Iranian authorities, with at least 551 deaths and thousands of people arrested, according to NGOs.
