Iranian student strips to her underwear in Tehran to protest female dress codes, is taken into custody by morality police


A female university student in Iran publicly stripped down to her bra and panties Saturday to protest the school’s mandate forcing her to wear a hijab. She was removed from the scene by the university’s morality squad, The Telegraph reported.

Other students filmed the event on their smartphones and watched as security guards came to interrupt her protest. She began her protest on the campus of Tehran’s Azad University, where female students are forced to wear head coverings. Security personnel surrounded her and became abusive in detaining the woman.

Several witnesses told The Telegraph that the student was sent to local detention facilities after she was arrested by campus security and physically removed from the area. At least 10 security guards can be seen on video forcing the woman into a vehicle.

“Oh God, how many of them are attacking just one person?” asked one witness. “I can’t believe what I’m seeing,” another noted.

“Around noon, near the entrance of the faculty, I saw a girl being grabbed and forcibly taken by security forces,” one witness told The Telegraph. “She wasn’t wearing a headscarf. Then they reached the security building near the entrance, where a male and a female security guard grabbed her and tried to take her into the office with force.”

“She resisted, and her hoodie was torn off her body, it made her very angry and she took off the rest of her clothes. She angrily yelled at them and took off her trousers – she sat outside the campus for a few minutes and the officer became more aggressive. I couldn’t see much but, a few minutes after she started walking, several plain-clothes officers ambushed her and forced her into a car.”

Student media said the young woman was injured during her arrest and could have suffered severe head trauma from being forced into the vehicle’s backseat and banging her head against the inside of the door. Some witnesses spoke of seeing blood on the vehicle.

What Ceasefire? ‘Heavy Clashes’ In South Lebanon As Beirut Buildings Leveled

What Ceasefire? ‘Heavy Clashes’ In South Lebanon As Beirut Buildings Leveled

Despite all the recent talk of a potential ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel in the works, regional reports say that some of the fiercest ground fighting is currently taking place in southern Lebanon on Friday.

Heavy Israeli aerial bombardments of the southern suburbs of Beirut have also continued with intensity. On Friday an Israeli missile completely leveled a residential multi-story in the neighborhood of Chiyah. Israel’s military reportedly issued a civilian evacuation alert shortly before, and terrifying video from the scene suggests locals knew it was about to be struck.

In the south of Lebanon, near the border, UN peacekeeping forces say they are monitoring “heavy clashes” on Friday, saying most of the fighting is centered in the coastal town of Naqoura as well as the village of Chamaa.

There are also emerging reports which say four Italian soldiers were injured after two rockets hit a UNIFIL base in Chamaa. Italy’s deputy prime minister has said Hezbollah was likely behind the rocket firing: “There were believed to be two missiles, from what it appears, they are believed to have been launched by Hezbollah.”

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni issued a statement of “deep indignation and concern” over “new attacks suffered by the Italian headquarters of UNIFIL in southern Lebanon.”

“These attacks are unacceptable,” she stated, adding that “the parties on the ground to guarantee, at all times, the safety of UNIFIL soldiers and to collaborate to quickly identify those responsible.”

“We are aware of heavy shelling in the vicinity of our bases,” UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti has said, saying that since the incident all UN troops appear to be safe “for the moment”.

Up until now, the UNIFIL has claimed its command posts came under attack by Israeli forces, including IDF tanks, several times. This appears to be the first time that Hezbollah fired on UN locations.

IDF forces earlier this week reached their deepest point into Lebanon since the ground invasion began, in the countryside vicinity of the port city of Tyre, which has been pummeled by airstrikes.

Israel has repeatedly demanded that the UNIFIL troops withdraw – requests which have been refused. This puts the UNIFIL outposts in the direct line of fire as the war encircles their positions.

“UNIFIL strongly urges combating parties to avoid fighting next to its positions. Inviolability of UN premises and personnel must be respected at all times,” a Friday statement said.
