Schoolgirl Armita Geravand was seriously injured by moral guards because she did not wear a headscarf on the subway.
Tehran. The Islamist regime in Tehran is responsible for the death of another student who rebelled once morest the requirement for women to wear headscarves: According to a media report, a 16-year-old Iranian girl is brain dead following a confrontation with moral guardians. As the Tasnim news agency reported, despite their best efforts, doctors assume that young Armita Geravand is brain dead.
The case of the 16-year-old student caused great outrage at the beginning of October. According to reports from human rights activists, the young woman clashed violently with moral guards on a subway because she was not wearing a headscarf. The young woman, who was traveling with friends, defended herself once morest attacks by the security forces. The girl had trained as a martial artist.
“Low blood pressure”
Armita Geravand has been in a coma in the hospital for weeks. Her mother has since been arrested. State media denied violence by the moral police. The official statement said the student fell and hit her head because of low blood pressure.
Groups like the Kurdish-Iranian Hengaw were the first to publicize Armita Geravand’s hospitalization. They published photos of the 16-year-old, in which she is seen unconscious with a breathing tube and a bandage over her head, apparently on life support machines.
Geravand’s fate reminds many Iranians of the case of the young Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by moral watchdogs in the fall of 2022 because of an allegedly ill-fitting headscarf. Amini fell into a coma and died. Her death sparked the worst protests in decades last year. Since then, many women have demonstratively ignored the obligation to wear a headscarf. (ag.)
