A female college student was arrested in Iran on Sunday for stripping down and strutting around campus in her underwear in apparent protest over allegedly being assaulted for not wearing a hijab.
A now-viral video shows the young woman in a bra and panties in the courtyard of Tehran’s Azad University, while other footage shows her soon being shoved by men into a car and being driven away.
The unidentified student was protesting security forces who had ripped her clothing earlier while confronting her for not wearing a headscarf, which Iranian law demands for all women in public, Iran International reported.
After the woman stripped in protest, she was filmed from above sitting on a wall — with one man approaching her and making a phone call before casually walking away as bemused students looked on.
A university rep said, “Campus security intervened and handed the individual over to law enforcement authorities,” blaming the incident on “an indecent act by a student.”
An online student group claimed the woman also was assaulted during her arrest by plainclothes security forces, leaving her bleeding heavily after her head was struck, possibly against a pillar or the door of the car.
“Blood stains from the student were reportedly seen on the car’s tires,” the online groups said, according to Iran International.
She was taken to a police station and then admitted to a mental-health facility, the report said — with the university official she had suffered “severe psychological distress” before the incident.
The underwear-clad protester has already become an icon for those decrying the Islamic Republic’s brutal treatment of those defying its rules.
A key UN official shared concerns about the student’s arrest.

The people of Iran have the very government their parents and grand parents rioted for in 1978.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. And they got it good and hard!
Prayers for the young lady would be in order. Obviously the mullahs learned from the soviets. “You are mentally ill comrade, you must be institutionalized for the protection of society and yourself.”
They did not like her “hat.” That was all. Then they ripped her shirt off basically, so she took off the rest. She was not just stripping off, although I do not know if she intentionally provoked them with her head covering.
I just saw your comment, I had already posted the photo, she is a brave hero, nothing funny about this situation. I knew almost as soon as this occurred from someone on X from Iran with family there. I have been sick for her. She does need prayers.
The liberal women who screech about being oppressed, yada, yada, yada should have to go live there or Saudi or any of those countries.
My corrupt, depraved soul had to look. Not too shabby. Forgive me Lord. Strengthen me.
She didn’t care if the whole world looked.
“That was a very brave act given the Regime in Iran. It may very well be her last act given the Regime in Iran.”
Same for this woman: https://nypost.com/2024/11/03/us-news/nyc-voter-bags-perfect-response-to-biden-trashing-maga-backers-people-were-cheering/.
Although the regimes in Washington DC, Albany, and NYC will not kill her, they will probably make her life miserable with tax audits, environmental violations, immigration investigations, etc. Expect an early morning raid from five law enforcement agencies because she has an undocumented pet turtle.
She could have disappeared into a crowd and had a friend with a full burka waiting, put it on, and got away with it. Others would follow through. One’s life is not worth the cause.
