Teen Girl Left Comatose After Morality Police Attack Over Missing Hijab
A 16-year-old girl in Tehran is fighting for her life after a brutal assault by Iran’s infamous morality police for not wearing a hijab. Armita Geravand was reportedly beaten so severely she slipped into a coma, sparking fresh outrage over Iran’s harsh dress code enforcement.
Shocking CCTV Shows Armita Carried Off Metro Unconscious
State broadcaster Irna released CCTV footage showing Armita boarding a metro train without a hijab alongside two other girls. Moments later, she is seen being carried off the train unconscious at Shohada station on Sunday.
Armita’s parents claim it was just an “accident” and say she fainted due to low blood pressure. But human rights group Hengaw paints a grimmer picture. They say Armita remains in a coma and shared pictures — unverified by ITV News — showing her being treated at Tehran’s Fajr Hospital.
Fears Rise After Mahsa Amini Tragedy
Armita’s case echoes the tragic death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in custody last year after being detained for improper hijab. Mahsa’s death sparked massive protests nationwide and drew harsh crackdowns, according to Amnesty International.
Hengaw has revealed “tight security” surrounds the hospital treating Armita, blocking even family visits. The parent’s interview with Irna was reportedly done under heavy security and pressure, with the mother reluctantly calling the incident an accident.
Iran Metro Boss Denies Any Clash
Masood Dorosti, managing director of Tehran’s metro, denied any “verbal or physical conflict” involving Armita. But with mounting evidence and eyewitness accounts, questions swirl over Iran’s violent enforcement of strict clothing rules.
This disturbing episode throws a spotlight on the cruel risks faced by Iranian women and girls who challenge the regime’s iron grip on personal freedoms.
