a student arrested after an act of protest

It is an act of protest against the Mullahs' regime. After being harassed about her headscarf by security guards, an Iranian student whose clothes were torn during the confrontation decided to strip naked in protest before wandering around campus. In another video filmed later in the day, he is seen being forcefully taken into a car by plainclothes security forces.

After the publication of these massively shared images, the organization Amnesty International called for his release. “Authorities must protect her from torture and other ill-treatment” declares the NGO. A media outlet affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards says she should be transferred to a psychiatric hospital. A technique that has already been used by the regime to discredit acts of protest by Iranian women.
